    Setting timeout method through ejb-jar.xml does not work, while annotation does.

      Hi,

       

      I have a local Singleton bean:

       

      <local-bean />

      ...

      <session-type>Singleton</session-type>

       

      in which I want a timeout method. This works as expected through annotations:

       

          @Timeout

             void handleTimeout(Timer t)

             {

       

      But if I try to set the timeout method via ejb-jar.xml on the same bean:

       

          <timeout-method>

              <method-name>handleTimeout</method-name>

              <method-params>

                  <method-param>javax.ejb.Timer</method-param>

              </method-params>

          </timeout-method>

       

      JBoss 7.2.0.Final gives me the following error when deploying:

      The relevant code can be found at: https://github.com/jboss/metadata/blob/7.x/ejb/src/main/java/org/jboss/metadata/ejb/spec/AbstractGenericBeanMetaData.java#L670.

      I want all configuration for this bean to be in ejb-jar.xml.

       

      Any ideas?
