Changing Beans

[Ryan Cuprak]

Is it possible to change a bean's pool size without repackaging and re-deploying? For example, if I set the max pool size for a particular MDB to 35 via glassfish-ejb-jar.xml but then need to tune this in production, is it possible to make a via either the web or command line interface? 

Thanks,

Hi Ryan,

To be honest, I don't think this is possible. AFAIK, from admin console, it's only possible to set default pool size values for all MDBs globally. Per MDB, it's only possible to specify the values using the deployment descriptor.

However, you can provide an alternate deployment descriptor during deployment. This is supported in the "asadmin deploy" command with the "--altdd" argument. Therefore it's possible to tweak MDBs without repackaging, but it requires redeploying the app. The Admin console doesn't provide means to do that in the UI.

This is probably a pretty simple enhancement request if only increases are allowed from the maximum.

If you care to take it on the relevant class is here ;-);

Alternatively raise a GitHub issue and I'll mark it as an enhancement.
