Contexts and Dependency Injection custom properties

WebSphere Application Server traditional Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) implementation is based on OpenWebBeans, which is configurable through the openwebbeans.properties file.

To specify CDI custom properties, place the openwebbeans.properties file inside the META-INF/openwebbeans directory of the application. Properties that are not listed, such as those that control the lifecycle and services, should remain at the default value for the application server. See the following list of some of the available CDI custom properties:

org.apache.webbeans.conversation.Conversation.periodicDelay

Delay in milliseconds. Use the conversation periodic delay custom property to search for and delete unused conversations.

Value	Default
integer	15000
