How to listen for fail over events

[fharms]

Hello,

We are in phase where we upgrade JBoss Messaging to HornetQ 2.3.0 Alpha and in the previous version we was able to register a failover listener.

TopicConnection connection = ((TopicConnectionFactory) lookup).createTopicConnection(username, password);
((JBossConnection) connection).registerFailoverListener(this);

But I haven't been able to find a similar API call for HornetQ, How can I achieve this?

thanks!

It doesn't seem to have one like this. You can create a Jire task for that if you like.

Thanks

if we want to help with this, where in the code will be the best place to start?

thanks!

If you take a look at HornetQ Core, there is a addFailureListener(SessionFailureListener) method for each ClientSession (which in fact calls ClientSessionFactoryImpl.addFailureListener()).

The SessionFailureListener is called when connection failed and also during failover time. Currently this hasn't been exposed for HornetQ JMS API.
