Turning off automatic connection closing

From Shrubbery

By default JBoss will close all JCA connections created during a web request after the response has been rendered. This is really annoying if you are trying to do something like poll a JMS topic subscription from an AJAX request.

In deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/server.xml there is a valve that automatically closes all JCA connections including JDBC and JMS connections. Just comment it out to take off the training wheels...

                <!-- Check for unclosed connections and transaction terminated checks
                     in servlets/jsps.

                     Important: The dependency on the CachedConnectionManager
                     in META-INF/jboss-service.xml must be uncommented, too
                -->
                <!--
                Very annoying - closes JMS connections automatically on every web request.

                            <Valve className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jca.CachedConnectionValve"
                                cachedConnectionManagerObjectName="jboss.jca:service=CachedConnectionManager"
                                transactionManagerObjectName="jboss:service=TransactionManager" />
                -->
