So why can't you use transactions? Won't you get what you want if you commit the transaction after every successful message and rollback()/close() and then reconnect after every failed one?
Also is the app server going to fail to respond to *certain* messages, or is it going to fail to respond to *any* messages? If the latter, you can delay the reconnect till you figure out that the web service is available again.
