Yes, certainly. If you are connecting to the broker using e.g. tcp://localhost:61616 as the broker url, then on broker failure the tcp connection will be lost and this triggers an exception back to the application level when trying to send/consume the next msg.
However in many scenarios you want the client to be able to transparently reconnect to the broker, which is achieved using the failover protocol. http://activemq.apache.org/failover-transport-reference.html Hope this helps.
