Thanks Tim for the detailed email. When I do failover I see below exception in
our app logs.
org.apache.activemq.transport.failover.FailoverTransport Transport
(tcp://hdp132.lab1.ariba.com:61616) failed, attempting to automatically
reconnect java.io.EOFException: null

The message redelivery attempt is default in the activemq conf, so it is 6
times.
I just send 1 message to the queue ,receive it and don't ack it ,then do
failover . There is a thread which listens for receiving messages in the queue
,I don't see any exception in there . So not sure from where the transport
exception is thrown.
In the produce send , receive and ack code the JMS
Is there a way to track failover happened. May be some sort of listener ,then
the session can be recovered.
Regards,
Rajeswari

I apologize, I misunderstood what you meant by "I made sure the messages
will not be acknowledged."
When either the broker or a consumer goes down while a consumer is actively
consuming a message, the broker will consider that a filed delivery and try
to redeliver the message. The maximumRedeliveries property of the
Redelivery Policy (http://activemq.apache.org/redelivery-policy.html)
controls how many times the message will be redelivered before being put
into the DLQ. The default value is 6; is this the value you're using, or
have you explicitly set a different value? With the default value of 6,
your consumer should fail over to the new master, the message should be
redelivered (because this is redelivery attempt #1 and that's less than 6),
and your consumer should start processing the message for the second time.
As long as that doesn't throw any exceptions or fail in any other way (have
you confirmed this?), the second redelivery attempt should eventually
result in a successful processing of the message.
However, it sounds like that's not happening for you, and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8576821/cant-get-activemq-to-resend-my-messages#comment35122357_8576821
seems to indicate that when using INDIVIDUAL_ACKNOWLEDGE mode, if you don't
close the Connection or recover() the Session, the messages will be
considered duplicates and ignored by the consumer. I haven't worked with
INDIVIDUAL_ACKNOWLEDGE mode myself; can anyone else on the list shed more
light on whether that comment is accurate?
If so, it would sound like clients who use INDIVIDUAL_ACKNOWLEDGE mode
shouldn't use the failover transport, because they need the connection to
die so they can recreate it. If that were true, I'd expect we'd have a
warning somewhere on the wiki saying that those two features aren't
compatible with one another, but I haven't seen one in my searching this
evening...
