Jboss AS 7.1.1 ejb 3 : EJB pool error

问题

We have an application running on Jboss AS 7.1.1 and uses EJB 3. We are intermittently seeing the following errors

javax.ejb.EJBException: JBAS014516: Failed to acquire a permit within 5 MINUTES at org.jboss.as.ejb3.pool.strictmax.StrictMaxPool.get(StrictMaxPool.java:109) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.pool.PooledInstanceInterceptor.processInvocation(PooledInstanceInterceptor.java:47) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.remote.EJBRemoteTransactionPropagatingInterceptor.processInvocation(EJBRemoteTransactionPropagatingInterceptor.java:8 0) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.interceptors.CurrentInvocationContextInterceptor.processInvocation(CurrentInvocationContextInterceptor.java :41) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.interceptors.LoggingInterceptor.processInvocation(LoggingInterceptor.java:59) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ee.component.NamespaceContextInterceptor.processInvocation(NamespaceContextInterceptor.java:50) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.interceptors.AdditionalSetupInterceptor.processInvocation(AdditionalSetupInterceptor.java:32) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.as.ee.component.TCCLInterceptor.processInvocation(TCCLInterceptor.java:45) at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) at org.jboss.invocation.ChainedInterceptor.processInvocation(ChainedInterceptor.java:61) at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ViewService$View.invoke(ViewService.java:165) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.remote.LocalEjbReceiver.processInvocation(LocalEjbReceiver.java:179) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext.sendRequest(EJBClientInvocationContext.java:179) at org.jboss.ejb.client.TransactionInterceptor.handleInvocation(TransactionInterceptor.java:43) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext.sendRequest(EJBClientInvocationContext.java:181) at org.jboss.ejb.client.ReceiverInterceptor.handleInvocation(ReceiverInterceptor.java:128) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext.sendRequest(EJBClientInvocationContext.java:181) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBInvocationHandler.doInvoke(EJBInvocationHandler.java:136) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBInvocationHandler.doInvoke(EJBInvocationHandler.java:121) at org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBInvocationHandler.invoke(EJBInvocationHandler.java:104)

Below is the configuration for the EJB subsystem in the standalone.xml

            </local-cache>
        </cache-container>
    </subsystem>

We are trying to troubleshoot what may be causing this issue and a fix for it.

回答1:

This happens, when the configured EJB pool is exhausted - means that all EJBs are currently "in use" (=processing). Look for long running invocations within your EJBs. It seems that the invocations take longer than 5 minutes in your case.
