Help needed testing JMS connection failure - 4.0.3SP1

[mveitas]

I am in need of some help with testing out our reconnect logic for our JMS based code. What is the best way to simulate a JMS connection failure?

I have set an ExceptionListener on the connection object, but when I try an stop the destination from the jmx-console, no exception is being thrown. I am using JBoss 4.0.3SP1.

connection.setExceptionListener( new ExceptionListener()
{
 public void onException( JMSException jmsException )
 {
 System.out.println( "@@@@@@@@@@@@" );
 }
});

*Hello. Just make sure that the client app and the server run on two different machines. Then deactivate the network interface on the client machine. That works fine for me.

Just removing the hard connection to the app server will not reproducing the problem that is being described. With your client running, go to the jmx console and stop the queue. The client exception listener will NOT detect that the queue is gone.

If anyone has a work-around from this problem, please post a solution.

Hi all,
is starting/stopping the queue the only way to simmulate a connection failure ?

Thanks in advance
