Description

When using an OutboundQueueBridge associated with a SimpleJmsQueueConnector bean I have observed the default ReconnectionPolicy.maxSendRetries value of 10 to result in message loss if the connection to destination server is unreliable. (messages that are not delivered to destination within maxSendRetries are still acknowledged as having been consumed by processing of later messages)

Is it possible for the org.apache.activemq.network.jms.DestinationBridge.onMessage() implementation to interpret a ReconnectionPolicy.maxSendRetries property value of -1 as infinity?
