[xmlblaster] Connection not transitioning to DEAD

[David Robison <drrobison at openroadsconsulting.com>]

I create a connection to an xmlBlaster with the following parameters:

ConnectQos qos = null;
if ((clientUsername != null && !clientUsername.equals("")) && (clientPassword != null && !clientPassword.equals(""))) {
    qos = new ConnectQos(global, clientUsername, clientPassword);
} else {
    qos = new ConnectQos(global);
}
qos.getClientQueueProperty().setMaxEntries(1000);

// Setup fail-safe handling ...
Address addressProp = new Address(global);
addressProp.setDelay(10000L); // retry connecting every 10 sec
addressProp.setRetries(12); // -1 == forever, 12=2 minutes
addressProp.setPingInterval(10000L); // 12 seconds
xmlBlaster.registerConnectionListener(this);

qos.setAddress(addressProp);
qos.setSessionTimeout(sessionTimeoutMins * 60 * 1000L);

xmlBlaster.connect(qos, this); // Login to xmlBlaster, register for updates


After connecting to the xmlBlaster, I kill the blaster. The connection goes from ALIVE to POLLING. What I expected to happen was that the connection would goto DEAD after 12 retries but it stays in POLLING forever. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, David
