[jira] Commented: (AMQNET-254) Implement a 'failover' transport for STOMP-provider (similar to the ActiveMq-provider)

["Timothy Bish (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Timothy Bish commented on AMQNET-254:
-------------------------------------

Failover for a Stomp client is a bit tricky since the Stomp protocol doesn't have the concept of fault tolerance built in, there's not a simple means of restoring the active sessions / subscriptions / transactions that were in place when the connection died.  To make things more interesting there's also no heartbeat mechanism to test if a connection is alive or not so you are left with using some timeout to determine if the connection is dead which can lead to needless failover for clients that are simply inactive.   

It could be done although on a more simplistic form that what's in the ActiveMQ client, the failover would need to purge any pending messages and transaction state info for the client and resubscribe for all the active consumers.  

You could take a look at the FailoverTransport and Inactivity monitor classes in NMS.ActiveMQ and contribute a scaled down version of these to the project, we love contributions.

> The NMS implementation for the OpenWire protocol directly supports 'failover' - it would be a nice feature if the STOMP provider also supports 'failover'.
> As always - please let me know if i was unclear or if i should provide better/more information. Also excuse my bad English.
