Artemis broker failure handling

[John Lilley <jo...@redpointglobal.com.INVALID>]

Greetings,

I’ve been reading about failure-hardening our use of Artemis here https://activemq.apache.org/components/artemis/documentation/1.1.0/client-reconnection.html

And it mostly seems automatic: “In this scenario, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis will automatically re-attach the client sessions to the server sessions when the connection reconnects. This is done 100% transparently and the client can continue exactly as if nothing had happened.”

However, this concerns me: “If your client does manage to reconnect but the session is no longer available on the server, for instance if the server has been restarted or it has timed out, then the client won't be able to re-attach, and any ExceptionListener or FailureListener instances registered on the connection or session will be called.”

Does this mean that, if the broker is bounced for whatever reason, the client will get an error in the middle of whatever it was doing?  Are there settings to make sessions persistent across restarts? What should be done to handle this?

Thanks
John
