Major Description
When a client is configured with a soTimeout query on a connection URI, the exception gets caught and ignored inside the main TcpTransport class. From what I can tell this has existed since 4.x. I'm not 100% sure if this is the intended behavior but in our particular use case we are expecting the socket to be closed after a period of no socket activity and reconnect again using the failover transport logic. In my opinion it makes sense to throw this exception out of the transport in the case where a slow broker may be taking too long to service a request. I've narrowed down the offending code to the source file org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpTransport@204.
