How to configure Jms template send timeout so won't get stuck if activemq is down

[michals]

hi.
When activemq is down i get stuck on jmsTemplate.convertAndSend.
Is there a way to configure a timeout on this so i won't get stuck if activemq is down?

currently i work around this by running this in a separated thread.
Is there another way to do this?

thanks

What do you mean by "down"? What do you mean by "stuck"?

You should get a connection exception.

Take a thread dump (with jstack, or visualVM) to see where the thread is.

[Michal]I mean that when the activemq is down, and a client sends a message - the send will get stuck until activemq raises. I found a solution, what i will do is add timeout=10000 to the Failover Transport Options:
"timeout -1 If a send is blocked waiting on a failed connection to reconnect how long should it wait before failing the send, default is forever (-1). "
This way, the send will end on an exception.
