AH!!! You know.. I think you're right!  At least 99% of my tests now pass.

But it looks like the documentation is wrong :-(

http://activemq.apache.org/how-can-i-support-auto-reconnection.html

Just use the following connection URI (setting the brokerURL in the
ActiveMQConnectionFactory)
   failover:tcp://host:port
http://activemq.apache.org/failover-transport-reference.html

… or maybe not because it would have worked if I didn't add the ? param…

Or at least this is a potential gotcha!  which are like the worst bugs
because they never get fixed.

But this is works and thanks for the pointer!

Hm.
