How to handle EJB timeout

Marco Rossi 85

Hello,

I desire to strengthen my synchronous BPEL processes in order to face the EJB timeout events that might happen if the SOA environment is slowed down.

Would it be possible to define a fault policy, or something similar, to trigger an action (for example writing a message in a JMS queue) in case of EJB timeout?

How do you handle these situations, considering that an EJB timeout can result in a big problem if the process makes not transactional actions (calling external services, updating database with non xa driver, and so on).

Thank you
