Look at the following settings (note: these are set on the client, not the server): org.jboss.mq.il.uil2.retryCount? Thissystem property controls the number of attempts to retry connecting to the JMS server. Retries are made only for java.net.ConnectException failures. A value that is less than or equal to zero means no retry attempts will be made. org.jboss.mq.il.uil2.retryDelay? This system property controls the delay, in milliseconds, between retries due to ConnectException failures.
