OK, I was able to stop it from waiting forever by setting the maxReconnectAttempts setting. However, it still does not behave as expected.
Once everything is up and running, I shut down one of the consumers. In the producer I get this error: DEBUG - Transport failed with the following exception:java.io.EOFException DEBUG - Attempting connect to: tcp://localhost:61616 DEBUG - Connect fail to: tcp://localhost:61616, reason: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect ERROR - Failed to connect to transport after: 1 attempt(s) DEBUG - Async exception with no exception listener: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Then, every 10 seconds I get these messages: DEBUG - 10000 ms elapsed since last write check. DEBUG - Message sent since last write check, resetting flag When the producer tries to send a message, we get this error. (Shouldn't this just store the peristed message): ERROR - Exception caught: javax.jms.JMSException: Connection refused: connect And finally, when I bring up the crashed consumer, nothing happens. It does not get the missed messages, and the producer continues to print out the same message every 10 seconds. Please help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Persistence-Behavior-tp25458903p25458935.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
