Ashwin, Thanks for this, it helped a lot. I ended up going with CACHE_CONNECTION. When I had it set at CACHE_SESSION it looked like I dropped a message (1 out of 500k) during an ActiveMQ fail over test. Not sure if it was from my CACHE_SESSION setting or something else, but i'm getting very good throughput using CACHE_CONNECTION and have not seen any message loss.
