How to handle a Connection object to remote jms server

created by Tim Coninx in JBoss Messaging - View the full discussion

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,
