Thanks, Jim. I neglected to add that we are using the failover URI in production. The main problem seems to be around surviving debugging. For instance, I someone is debugging a service, and goes away for a cup of coffee for a few minutes, they will invariably find that the broker has send an NMSException.
The pseudo-code for what we are trying to do is below. Let's assume that the developer is working on his own laptop, with a locally-installed single instance of ActiveMQ. // When initially creating a connection, we set the NMS ExceptionListener handler this.TheConnection.ExceptionListener += this.OnConnectionException; // This will get called when we get a break in the connection public virtual void OnConnectionException(Exception exception) { if (exception is NMSException) this.TryExceptionRepair(exception as NMSException); } private void TryExceptionRepair(NMSException nmsException) { // This is where we want to try to re-establish connections, sessions, etc } Let's say that we have a single Connection, a single Session that is associated with the connection, and a number of MessageConsumers and MessageProducers that were created by that Session. Is there a well-known pattern for re-establishing the environment when the connection is broker? Also, any advice regarding the URI is welcome.
