@glassfishrobot Commented lprimak said: Timeout should have default value as not to break compatibility with current applications Also, the timeout specified above should be overridable by XML as it stands now

@glassfishrobot Commented abien said: The question is: should we prescribe a default TX timeout, or should it be "unspecified" => a proprietary application-server configuration

[glassfishrobot]

@glassfishrobot Commented lprimak said: I'd say unspecified to preserve more like how the configuration is done now

@glassfishrobot Commented paul_parkinson said: Yes, this conversation has been had before actually and the resolution (right or wrong) was to leave it unspecified.

Also, we've had the conversation over being able to specify transaction timeout in UserTransaction/TransactionManager.begin which would be the API equivalent to this annotation support. When discussing this, we also went down the path of being able to provide arbitrary values to begin, i.e. a begin(Map properties) API addition and so we should consider all of this when designing the annotation enhancement.
