[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBESB-3744?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Brian Blasko updated JBESB-3744: -------------------------------- Description: If the DB goes down when listening, the gateway will attempt to reconnect but after the max number of retries of 5(hard coded in JdbcCleanConn.connection, it returns a null connection. This then causes a NPE in pollForCandidates which in turns causes the thread to exit. Then when the DB comes back up, the listener will not restart. The gateway listener should not throw the NPE and should be capable of recovery. was: If the DB goes down when listening, the gateway will attempt to reconnect but after the max number of retries of 5(hard coded in JdbcCleanConn.connection, it returns a null connection.
