Hi,
I am using ActiveMQ 5.0.0. My application requires Perl publishers & Java subscribers. Since HA is a necessity, I wish to implement failover capability in the Net::Stomp client for Perl.
I've already come up with a basic solution, but I am facing the following problem:
I use the pipe broken signal to detect master broker failure from perl. The pipe does not break until the master shuts down its Stomp connector. If I abruptly shut down the master (power down or kill -9), then there is no issue. But if I cleanly shutdown the master (^C), then the master does not shut down its Stomp connector until it has done its cleanup. This normally takes around 10secs. This results in the Perl client sending messages to the broker for those crucial ten seconds. These messages are lost & not delivered to the Java client.
Is there are any other way of detecting that the master is shutting down? Perhaps something using the STOMP ERROR frame?
TIA,
Ramit
