Redelivery Counting
The attributes of the connection between a Broker client and a Broker are defined by the BrokerConnectionDescriptor object. You use the attributes in the connection descriptor to:
*Enable or disable the automatic re-connection of a Broker client in the case where the connection to the Broker is lost.
*Enable or disable the sharing of a network connection by more than one Broker client. Only Broker clients located within the same process share a Broker connection.
*Enable or disable the sharing of client state by multiple Broker clients.
*Control the use of the secure socket layer (SSL) for authentication and encryption.
*Enable or disable the redelivery counting feature and indicate whether the redelivery counter will operate in manual or automatic mode.
*Enable or disable the keep-alive feature, which will prevent the client connection from being dropped without the Broker's knowledge.
Note:
If you use a BrokerConnectionDescriptor to define the attributes of a connection, you must create the descriptor and set its attributes before you use it to create or reconnect a Broker client. Changing the attributes of a connection descriptor will not affect the Broker client currently using the descriptor, but it will affect any subsequent uses of the descriptor.
