We have jbossesb-4.10 component installed on jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6 server. It is integrated with Sonic ESB. The JMS Gateway in JBoss ESB connects Sonic ESB using following JNDI properties. But it seems to be trying to connect to the first Sonic ESB node (Primary1) only, even when Primary1 is not active and Backup1 has become active message broker. Error log is given below.

In the Sonic JNDI store, all 4 broker URLs (primary1, backup1, primary2, backup2) are configured. But JBoss ESB using the connectionFactory retrieved from the Sonic JNDI store, is not trying all of these URLs until a working one is found.

While testing with another JMS client (Hermes JMS), it got a working connection in this case.

Any ideas/inputs, why JBoss is not using the connection data as retrieved from Sonic JNDI correctly?

Why JBoss ESB is not able to connect to Backup broker?
