What happens if the startup fails?
Right now I have it so that it fails the deployment.
Could we specify something like
max-retries = 5, retry-interval = 10ms . It would be nice if the
container
makes the "best effort" to startup an EJB and that "best effort
strategy"
could be specified by the user in the form of the above two
attributes.
Well the only way a singleton startup can fail is if the bean itself
threw an exception from the @PostConstruct method. So best effort
responsibility is definitely within the bean developer's realm of
control.
If we do not have something in the spec, do you think we could have
something
like these as custom openejb properties then.
I'm not sure. Might be better to let the developers take care of this
themselves.
