Hi Bruce/Joe, thanks for the information.
Damned, I was so glad to see the start order problem being gone by using the failover protocol in the masterConnectorURI. But unfortunately issue (https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2743) is right, failover to slave does not work any more after master crash. I also tried to use the connectionTimeout parameter (without failover protocol): <broker ... masterConnectorURI="tcp://master:61616?connectionTimeout=0"> I thought that this could help to let the slave wait until being able to establish the connection to the master. But same Connection error as seen in my first posting was thrown immediately on startup. Any more suggestions about a workaround or a patch?
