To add some more details to that: >From experiment, "durable" subscriptions aren't working across two peers in my current setup (two processes, embedded brokers in each, connecting using the "peer" mode). That is, messages are received OK normally, but messages sent while one of the peers is down are not retransmitted.
Looking in the JMX info, the subscriptions are registered as durable and seen across peers. However, the peer connection seems to generate a different clientId on restart, so I guess the peer doesn't recognise the restarted peer and thinks it's a new one. I'm setting the clientId to a persistent value on my connections, but I guess that affects the connection to the embedded broker only and not the connection between the two peers. Is there a way I can set the clientId on the peer connections, so that restarted peers are recognised as such? Or is there something else I need to do to get this setup working? (I am using ActiveMQ 4.1.1, JDK 6, on Linux).
