During startup of the mbean the connection is created by initializing a remote InitialContext, looking up the ConnectionFactory from that context, and creating a connection from that factory: @Service public class JMSPublisher extends etcc.... {   private Connection connection;   protected void startService() {     Context ctx = getRemoteInitialContext();     ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("ConnectionFactory");     connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();   } } My question is: how long can we be supposed to maintain that connection ? In practise we see that the connection throws a JMSException when we try to create a session on it after an undefined amount of time. The documentation of Connection tells us that an object represents a socket, so timeouts due to inactivity could be normal. But how can we deal with it without creating new connections for each and every message ?
