Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 Administration Guide

Setting a Transaction Timeout Value

By default, the server does not time out a transaction. That is, the server waits indefinitely for a transaction to complete. If you set a timeout value for transactions, if a transaction isn’t completed within the configured time, the Application Server rolls back the transaction.

To set transaction timeout value using the Administration Console, select Configuration>Transaction Service. The Transaction Service page displays the general transaction service settings. Enter the number of seconds before the transaction times out, in the Transaction Timeout field. The default value of Transaction Timeout is 0 seconds. This disables transaction timeouts.
