Hello Robbie,

I completely agree that we should not tie our code to a specific JMS provider.

"such that there is obviously no message available in the time it is doing that"
I didn't get your point here. If my receiver enters a reconnect loop there 
might still be available messages pending in the broker.

In the end I guess it's mainly a question of feedback at the level of our JMS 
client.
Even if we reconnect for hours we want our client to be notified quickly that 
something is going wrong...

I wouldn't consider it an internal error that you have expressly configured the 
client to sit reconnecting and it is currently doing so, such that there is 
obviously no message available in the time it is doing that but also no final 
connection failure since you have configured it not to fail the connection 
without hours of retry. As result I would not choose to throw an exception from 
receive() in that scenario. Theres also not much you can reasonably do with an 
exception there either except try the consumer again regardless, or close the 
consumer immediately and then do something like try creating a new one (which 
is going to run into the reconnections again), or perhaps cleaning up entirely 
and creating a new connection (which your reconnect config suggests you dont 
want to do) getting largely back to square one. Since exceptions would be 
impl-only in this case, using provider-specific exception handling to discern 
detail and adjust behaviour would be tying your code non portably to that JMS 
provider impl, not something I'd recommend.
