Problem with Stateful session Bean

[Deepak Gupta]

Hi ,
Suppose ,I write a business method in satteful session bean in such a way that it never comes out from that business method( e.g. infinite while loop).
what will happen ,if the client timed out. How the container manage this kind of situation??
Can somebody tell me .

Actually, the actuall implementation of managing this situation is container specific.
However the end result, I think,is that the container will continue to execute the loop untill it reaches the timeout period. After that it will kill the bean instance. Whether the client logs out or not he will never get the result.

But I think ,According to the Session bean life cyle ,the bean cant be timed out if its invoking any business method.
So bean cant be timed out.

I though a bean could not be timed out when performing a "Transaction" but otherwise it will be released.
Most likely the app server has a timer on its bean execution thread. If that thread fails to return within the allotted time it will likely be killed. Then the bean trashed. an exception thrown. then start over.

It's actually even more complicated than that. There will be a communications timeout on the client side as well, so what the client would see (when the communications timeout occurs) is a CORBA_COMPLETED_MAYBE error -- meaning that there is no way of finding out what really happened on the server.
