Thanks for your help, Tim. Got so buried in the snow the past few days. Here is the error I got when I prepend failover to the connectionUrl:
2016-01-26 11:17:32 WARN FailoverTransport:1119 - Failed to connect to [vm://localhost?jms.prefetchPolicy.queuePrefetch=0] after: 10 attempt(s) continuing to retry. Here is the connectionUrl: "failover:vm://brokerUrl?jms.prefetchPolicy.queuePrefetch=$prefetchLimit" Thanks again. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/failover-with-vm-connection-tp4706284p4706459.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
