Handling connection errors in a MDB

Question

Is it possible to manage connection timeouts or errors in a MessageDrivenBean?

You can make the factory to retry connecting a certain number of times but... is it possible to make some actions each time that a reconnection retrial is neccesary? Is it possible to register an ExceptionListener into the MessageDrivenBean's connection somehow?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Finally I wasn't able to do this but I changed jmsjra to JMSJCA that fits better my needings. JMSJCA is included in Glassfish ESB project.

You can always have some sort of error topic or queue that you can post the exception to from your MDB. Including the correlationID in the error message to synchronize with the original message if that is desired.
