Introduction
The following slimming recommendations are for a standard JBoss AS 6.0.0 final (Community) “All” configuration.
Slimming is very application specific, so this is by no means a universal document. If you have documented the process for slimming other services for JBoss 6.x please add to them here.
The slimming document for JBoss5.x http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBoss5xTuningSlimming will be not complete out of date for JBoss 6.x, so you might look into.

The following services use the “DefaultDS” datasource for persistence:
- JUDDI
- UUID key generator
- EJB2 timer
One option is to remove or adapt such services, the other option is to provide a datasource “DefaultDS” for another RDBMS.
Datasource examples will be located in docs/examples/jca.
EJB2 Timer service
To deactivate persistence for EJB2 timer replace:
<mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.DatabasePersistencePolicy" name="jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=database">
<!-- DataSourceBinding ObjectName -->
<depends optional-attribute-name="DataSource">jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=DefaultDS</depends>
<!-- The plugin that handles database persistence -->
<attribute name="DatabasePersistencePlugin">org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.GeneralPurposeDatabasePersistencePlugin</attribute>
<!-- The timers table name -->
<attribute name="TimersTable">TIMERS</attribute>
<depends>jboss.jdbc:datasource=DefaultDS,service=metadata</depends>
</mbean>
...
<mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerServiceImpl" ...
<depends optional-attribute-name="PersistencePolicy">jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=database</depends>
with:
<mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.NoopPersistencePolicy" name="jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=noop"/> ... <mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerServiceImpl" ... <depends optional-attribute-name="PersistencePolicy">jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=noop</depends>
