JBM Reconnect

[Vikram Saxena]

Hello,

I am using JBoss AS 4.2.3 GA and JBM 1.4.3 SP3.
In my application there are MDB which are listening to the external TIBCO queues.
I have configured a JMS Provider, Connection Factory to connect to the external TIBCO queues.

Here is the conetent :

the tibco-jms-ds.xml

    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connection-factories>

    <!-- =================== TIBCO JMS Provider Loader ================== -->
    <mbean code="org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader"
        name="jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=TibcoJMSProvider">

        <attribute name="ProviderAdapterClass">

        </attribute>
    </mbean>

    <!-- JMS XA Resource adapter, use this to get transacted JMS in beans -->

          <use-java-context>false</use-java-context>
        <xa-transaction />
        <rar-name>jms-ra.rar</rar-name>
        <connection-definition>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
        <config-property name="SessionDefaultType" type="java.lang.String">javax.jms.Topic</config-property>
        <config-property name="JmsProviderAdapterJNDI" type="java.lang.String">java:/TibcoJMSProvider</config-property>
        <config-property name="UserName" type="java.lang.String">XXXXXX</config-property>

        <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
    </tx-connection-factory>

Now, there is a problem which I am facing :
1. I lose connection to the TIBCO queues, i.e. my MDB stops listening to the queue anytime and then I have to restart the JBoss AS to get it working.

2. There are Failover TIBCO servers, so how do I implement Failover values in my jms-ds.xml ? Is it by adding the entire URL comma separated like :
java.naming.provider.url=tibjmsnaming://XXXXX:XXXXXX,tibjmsnaming://ZZZZZZ:ZZZZZZ,tibjmsnaming://YYYYYY:YYYYY ??

3. For issue 1, I read there is a reconnect parameter which would keep reconnecting to the tibco queues if the connection is not established or broken. Where do I specify the reconnect value.

Any help on this would be appreciated. I am very new to JBM.
