[JBoss-user] calling ejbStore() too many times

[Kris Kristensen]

Moving down the path of porting from WLS to JBoss, I came across this issue.   We are using both XA and non-XA datasources/drivers in our application. I have a testprogram that calls a number of sessionbeans each of which calls a number of entity beans. These entity beans all use the non-xa driver. these entity beans collects a number of informations(definitions) that is used to call external databases to create dynamic SQL statements. The external databases all use XA-datasources.   Doing this with WLS takes approx. 1- to 3+ minuts, depending on the amount of data being retrieved. Doing it in JBoss is something of a showstopper (3+ minuts). During executing, JBoss insists on calling ejbStore() contantly, where WLS just calls ejbStore() when the transaction is about to end. Without actually counting the number of times JBoss makes these calls, my best guess is more than 100!!, although the number a entity beans being accessed is around 10-15.   Further info: We are using BMP for the entity beans. Every bean has its own record class the implements the Serializable interface. The record class acts as data-container between the server and client.   JBoss2.4.4_Tomcat4.0.1   -Kris
