JMS Reconnect ability

[bfach]

Hello,

I am attempting to make a standalone java application reconnect to JBoss in the event that it dies. I found the jboss wiki detailing the exception listener interface and implementing this. This method works for a regular ConnectionFactory however not for a clustered ConnectionFactory.

I am using JBoss4.2.2.GA with 1.4.0.SP3 CP02.

The test that is run is as follows:

1- Start Jboss
2- Connect via client app
3- Stop Jboss
4- Observe reconnect attempt by client app
5- Restart jboss
6- Observe messages being processed in jboss again

The above occurs once but upon the second attempt, the exception listener is not called.

Thanks!

If you use a clustered connection factory and set 'supportsfailover' to true, the client will reconnect to another node transparently.

This is true however this is in the event that you have 1 node in a cluster. I want the ability to reconnect to the same node in the event that it dies and is restarted. The reconnect works everytime with a ConnectionFactory but not for the ClusteredConnectionFactory.

Sorry for the late reply as I was away for a week.

To be clear on what I am attempting. Failover is not the issue here. I am not trying to test the failover capability if there are 2+ nodes in a cluster but rather what occurs in the event that there is 1 node and it dies.
