Hi, I'm using the shared file system, master slave setup with two brokers on separate servers. My clients are configured to use the failover transport with a URL like this: failover://(tcp://broker1:61616,tcp://broker2:61616)?randomize=false. I've noticed that the order of the brokers in the failover URL seems to be significant. If I start broker2 before broker1, so that broker2 becomes the master and broker1 the slave, clients will get stuck in a reconnect loop where they keep trying to connect to broker1.
Attached is a junit test case which exhibits the same behavior as my setup. If the startup order of the brokers is different from their order in the failover URL, the test will timeout. When the order is the same, the test will pass. The slave broker opens a socket, so a tcp connection is possible to it even though the broker functionality isn't enabled. This might be what is confusing the failover transport. I'm not quite sure if my broker configuration is incorrect or if this is a bug (or feature) in a master slave setup, so any help is much appreciated. I'm using ActiveMQ 5.4.2 and spring-jms 2.5.5.
