RE: Inactivity Timeout with Java Broker

[David Frank <da...@aitengineering.com>]

Just a quick follow up. The issue we had on startup seemed to be resolved by using

	-Dqpid.handshake_timeout=60

It's a little risky when we update next since it's not a documented property, but it seems to work.

Thanks!

Hello David

In the Java Broker, you can't currently disable heart beating from the broker side.

If the client requests heart beating, the Broker will respect this request.
To turn off heat beating, configure the Java client (*) by using the "heartbeat" broker list property [1] in the connection url, or via the qpid.heartbeat system property [2] and set the value to zero.

You may have noticed a broker attribute "connection.heartBeatDelay"
(settable through the Web Management Console) but this can't be used to turn off heat beating if requested by the client.  (For AMQP 0-10 connections, this value sets the heartbeat maximum used during the connection.tune negotiation, for AMQP 0-8..0-9-1 connections this value will enable heartbeating if the client does not request it).

Kind regards, Keith Wall.
