Andrew Hurst commented on AMQ-2455:
-----------------------------------

Applied the patch to activeMQ 5.3.0 and it works like magic (for QueueConnection). I tested as follows:

1) Started my local broker and then using spring I setup a bridge to an OracleAQ remote broker like so:

<bean id="bookingJmsFactory" class="oracle.jms.AQjmsFactory"
		factory-method="getQueueConnectionFactory">

		<!-- host -->
		<constructor-arg index="0">
			<value>${jms.external.etlp.host.address}</value>
		</constructor-arg>

		<!-- database id -->
		<constructor-arg index="1" type="java.lang.String">
			<value>${jms.external.etlp.database.id}</value>
		</constructor-arg>

		<!-- port number -->
		<constructor-arg index="2" type="int">
			<value>${jms.external.etlp.host.port}</value>
		</constructor-arg>

		<!-- database client mode -->
		<constructor-arg index="3">
			<value>${jms.external.etlp.database.driver}</value>
		</constructor-arg>
	</bean>

	<!-- User credentials for the remote Oracle AQ broker-->

	<bean id="bookingJmsFactoryUserCredentialsAdapter"
		class="org.springframework.jms.connection.UserCredentialsConnectionFactoryAdapter">

		<property name="targetConnectionFactory" ref="bookingJmsFactory" />
		<property name="username" value="${jms.external.etlp.database.username}" />
		<property name="password" value="${jms.external.etlp.database.password}" />
	</bean>

	<!--
		Injection of oracle AQ connection factory plus credentials into a Jms
		Component
	-->
	<bean id="bookingJms" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent">
		<property name="connectionFactory">

			<!-- Fix for Camel to handle XMLType payload queues -->
			<bean class="com.ee.lglbe.util.oracle.PayloadConnectionFactoryAdapter">
				<property name="targetConnectionFactory" ref="bookingJmsFactoryUserCredentialsAdapter" />
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>


2) I started my broker and initialised above bridge and verified that messages began to be consumed

3) I disconnected the network between the local broker and the remote AQ broker (by switching off my VPN!)

4) Waited 2 minutes and verified that nothing worked anymore

5) Reconnected the network and voila, the bridge remained active and new messages were consumed

Great job and thanks :)))

> I followed an example (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/docview/jms_to_jms_bridge_activem.aspx?display=Print) showing how to set up a bridge between OpenJMS and ActiveMQ.  The bridge seems to work perfectly until I stop then restart OpenJMS while leaving ActiveMQ running.  Once I restart OpenJMS I try sending a message from it to ActiveMQ, but ActiveMQ doesn't receive it until I stop and restart ActiveMQ.  I can recreate the exact same problem by starting ActiveMQ first and then OpenJMS.  After a little more reading it looks like failover should fix this problem, but I tried it and it didn't work.  I submitted a question to ActiveMQ and Gary Tully responded and told me there is currently no facility to retry jms connections to a foreign provider by the ActiveMQ JMS bridge.
> Assuming that remote end-points may not be using ActiveMQ then I would think this would be a very important feature to have.

> The conversation also contains an attachment showing me configuration file.
