Setting JTA Properties to an Atomikos + Spring Boot Configuration

Question

I'm trying to set an Atomikos JTA Property (e.g. com.atomikos.icatch.max_timeout) in a Spring Boot Configuration, using the following:

import com.atomikos.icatch.config.UserTransactionServiceImp;
import com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionImp;
import com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.transaction.TransactionManager;
import javax.transaction.UserTransaction;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.DependsOn;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;
import org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager;

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class TransactionManagementConfiguration 
{

    @Bean(name="userTransactionServiceImp")
    public UserTransactionServiceImp userTransactionServiceImp()
    {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("com.atomikos.icatch.max_timeout", "600000");
        UserTransactionServiceImp userTransactionServiceImp = new UserTransactionServiceImp(properties);
        return userTransactionServiceImp;
    }

    @Bean
    @DependsOn("userTransactionServiceImp")
    public UserTransaction userTransaction()
    {
        UserTransactionImp userTransactionImp = new UserTransactionImp();
        return userTransactionImp;
    }

    @Bean
    @DependsOn("userTransactionServiceImp")
    public TransactionManager userTransactionManager()
    {
        UserTransactionManager userTransactionManager = new UserTransactionManager();
        userTransactionManager.setStartupTransactionService(false);
        userTransactionManager.setForceShutdown(false);
        return userTransactionManager;
    }

    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager()
    {
        return new JtaTransactionManager(userTransaction(), userTransactionManager());
    }    

}

However, the property setting change to com.atomikos.icatch.max_timeout is not picked up.

I've read through the limited JTA Spring Boot materials (http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-jta.html), search on Atomokis, etc. with no luck on what I might be doing wrong.

Have been using the following Atomikos Spring JTA documentation has a guideline for the Spring Boot configuration code: http://www.atomikos.com/Documentation/SpringIntegration#The_Advanced_Case_As_of_3_3

Any insight into this problem would be appreciated.

EDIT: changing the @Bean initMethod/destroyMethod, and adding an @DependsOn to transactionManager() seems to have fixed the issued:

    @Bean(name="userTransactionServiceImp", initMethod = "init", destroyMethod = "shutdownForce")
    public UserTransactionServiceImp userTransactionServiceImp()
    {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("com.atomikos.icatch.max_timeout", "3600000");
        UserTransactionServiceImp userTransactionServiceImp = new UserTransactionServiceImp(properties);
        return userTransactionServiceImp;
    }

    @Bean
    @DependsOn("userTransactionServiceImp")
    public UserTransaction userTransaction()
    {
        UserTransactionImp userTransactionImp = new UserTransactionImp();
        return userTransactionImp;
    }

    @Bean(initMethod = "init", destroyMethod = "close")
    @DependsOn("userTransactionServiceImp")
    public TransactionManager userTransactionManager()
    {
        UserTransactionManager userTransactionManager = new UserTransactionManager();
        userTransactionManager.setStartupTransactionService(false);
        userTransactionManager.setForceShutdown(false);
        return userTransactionManager;
    }

    @Bean
    @DependsOn("userTransactionServiceImp")
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager()
    {
        return new JtaTransactionManager(userTransaction(), userTransactionManager());
    }

According Atomikos docs, property com.atomikos.icatch.max_timeout can be configured also via UserTransaction.setTransactionTimeout().

Such configuration works for me (notice this API is using value in seconds):

  @Bean(initMethod = "init", destroyMethod = "close")
  public UserTransactionManager atomikosTransactionManager()
      throws SystemException {
    UserTransactionManager userTransactionManager =
        new UserTransactionManager();
    userTransactionManager.setTransactionTimeout(600);
    return userTransactionManager;
  }

  @Bean
  public JtaTransactionManager transactionManager(
      UserTransactionManager atomikosTransactionManager) {
    JtaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JtaTransactionManager();
    transactionManager.setTransactionManager(atomikosTransactionManager);
    transactionManager.setUserTransaction(atomikosTransactionManager);
    return transactionManager;
  }
