Where are the EJB2 CMP container-configuration in JBoss EAP 6.0.x

Environment

• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • 6.0
  • 6.1

Issue

• In JBoss 4.0.3SP1, we have these container configurations. These container configurations allow us to control the EJB CMP 2.1 lifecycle. The parameters like sync-on-commit-only, insert-after-ejb-post-create and call-ejb-store-on-clean are made use of in our JBoss 4 configuration. This is very essential for our application, In the absence of these settings, the EJB container is calling the ejbStore too soon (default EAP6 implementation). This is causing serious issues to our application and it is rather rendering it unusable. We need to be able to delay the EJB sync till the end of the transaction and insert till after EJB post create.
• In EAP 5.1, I can configure "container-cache-conf" properties for EJB in "jboss.xml", how can I do it on EAP 6.x?

Resolution

Upgrade to JBoss EAP 6.1 or request a one off patch and the options can be set on the entity in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml for example below. Note the DTD needs to be 4.1 for the options to be valid sync-on-commit-only, insert-after-ejb-post-create, and call-ejb-store-on-clean. Or remove the DTD declaration.

<!DOCTYPE jbosscmp-jdbc PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSSCMP-JDBC 4.1//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jbosscmp-jdbc_4_1.dtd">

And same to these container configurations:
