Hi, regarding the OutOfMemory, they just added a max-instances attribute for entities and message driven beans in orion 1.4.6 - which by now is not accessible via autoupdate, it seems :-(. See bug #258. By now, the cache size depended only on the beans maximum lifetime (that is, a bean is removed only from the pool, if its timeout is reached, see the "validity-timeout" setting in orion-ejb-jar.xml).

I had to, occasionally, flush EJBCache to avoid getting a java.lang.OutOfMemory error, which, to me, implied that Orion was not passivating the beans! 2. Shouldn't there be a way to adjust the pool-size to tune the application? Too small a pool-size could 'choke' an application! Please comment. _______________ Pooling of Entity beans? Yes, it does. You can verify that for yourself by logging when orion calls the activate and passivate methods. No special setup is necessary.

It seems that the question "Does Orion provide Bean-pooling?" has been asked a few times on this mailing list but never answered explicitly. I'd appreciate somebody answering this question and, if available, how to set it up? None of the configuration files seem to have a provision for it. If it doesn't provide bean-pooling, are there any plans for it? Thanks Satish Gupta
