Jboss 7.1 ejb 2.1 custom transaction timeout configuration

ejb-2.x, jboss7.x

Replace the jboss.xml deployment descriptor file

The jboss-ejb3.xml deployment descriptor replaces the jboss.xml deployment descriptor to override and add to the features provided by the Java Enterprise Edition (EE) defined ejb3-jar.xml deployment descriptor. The new file is incompatible with jboss.xml, and the jboss.xml is now ignored in deployments.

You need to create a `jboss-ejb3.xml` and put the configuration inside it.

It would look something like this:

<assembly-descriptor>
    <container-transaction>
        <method>
            <ejb-name>EJBName</ejb-name>
            <method-name>methodName</method-name>
            <method-intf>Local</method-intf>
        </method>
        <tx:trans-timeout>
            <tx:timeout>500</tx:timeout>
            <tx:unit>Seconds</tx:unit>
        </tx:trans-timeout>
    </container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>

You are using `EJB2.x` , so it would be better and wise to configure it in `ejb-jar.xml`

It should be created in `META-INF of the EJB jar`.

Problem

I'm currently trying to upgrade my web application from jboss 5.1 to jboss 7.1.1.Final In my jboss.xml I have configured some custom ejb timeouts like the following: ``` <session> <ejb-name>MSServiceEJB</ejb-name> <jndi-name>ejb/MSServiceEJB</jndi-name> <local-jndi-name>ejb/LocalMSServiceEJB</local-jndi-name> <method-attributes> <method> <method-name>*</method-name> <transaction-timeout>3600</transaction-timeout> </method> </method-attributes> </session> ``` jboss 7 ignores jboss.xml, where can I specify my ejb 2.1 transaction timeouts?
