Specifies the time interval in seconds for sending the keep-alive messages from the JMS client to the Broker Server. Sending keep-alive messages in regular intervals helps in identifying dead connections. This feature is very useful when you configure your messaging system in a wide area network.

Set the value to 0(zero) to disable the keep-alive feature. The default value is 30.

Specifies the number of keep-alive attempts. JMS client assumes that the Broker Server connection is down if the Broker Server fails to respond to all the consecutive keep-alive attempts. The default value is 2.
