> ## Transaction Timeouts

> For container-managed transactions, you control the transaction timeout interval by setting the value of the `timeout-in-seconds` property in the `domain.xml` file, which is in the `config` directory of your Application Server installation. For example, you would set the timeout value to 5 seconds as follows:

>     timeout-in-seconds=5

> With this setting, if the transaction has not completed within 5 seconds, the EJB container rolls it back.

> When the Application Server is first installed, the timeout value is set to 0:

>     timeout-in-seconds=0

> If the value is 0, the transaction will not time out.

> Only enterprise beans with container-managed transactions are affected by the `timeout-in-seconds` property. For enterprise beans with bean-managed JTA transactions, you invoke the `setTransactionTimeout` method of the `UserTransaction` interface.
