Hello,
We are using an application that contains a jboss @Service mbean which encapsulates a javax.jms.Connection object.
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 ?
Insert mo,
