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.
