Hi Dejan, Thanks for the reply. On the link you sent I read:
"The Failover configuration syntax allows you to specify any number of composite uris. The Failover transport randomly chooses one of the composite URI and attempts to establish a connection to it. If it does not succeed or if it subsequently fails, a new connection is established to one of the other uris in the list." So, if I have a network of 3 brokers specifed staticaly in my config file and having also specified the failover:// protocol how does ActiveMQ fail an initial connection to one broker to another? Or does it? I use an ActiveMQConnectionFactory which needs to be connected to a broker URL specifically. So, if that broker is down do I need to try a different broker myself or does ActiveMQ's failover would connect to a different broker? If so, how?
