23.2.5. Assign Bean Pools for Session and Message-Driven Beans

JBoss Administrators can assign individual bean pools for use by session beans and message-driven beans. Bean pools can be assigned by using the Management Console or the CLI tool.
By default two bean pools are provided, slsb-strict-max-pool and mdb-strict-max-pool for stateless session beans and message-driven beans respectively.

Procedure 23.7. Assign Bean Pools for Session and Message-Driven Beans using the Management Console

  1. Click on the Configuration tab at the top of the screen. Expand the Container menu and select EJB 3. Select the Container tab.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Select the bean pool to use for each type of bean from the appropriate combo-box.
  4. Click Save to finish.

Procedure 23.8. Assign Bean Pools for Session and Message-Driven Beans using the CLI

  1. Launch the CLI tool and connect to your server. Refer to Section 3.5.4, “Connect to a Managed Server Instance Using the Management CLI”.
  2. Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax.
    /subsystem=ejb3:write-attribute(name="BEANTYPE", value="BEANPOOL")
    • Replace BEANTYPE with default-mdb-instance-pool for Message-Driven Beans or default-slsb-instance-pool for stateless session beans.
    • Replace BEANPOOL with the name of the bean pool to assign.
  3. Use the read-resource operation to confirm the changes.
    /subsystem=ejb3:read-resource

Example 23.5. Assign a Bean Pool for Session Beans using the CLI

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=ejb3:write-attribute(name="default-slsb-instance-pool", value="LV_SLSB_POOL")  
{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 /]

Example 23.6. XML Configuration Sample
