Description

From the javadoc:

• This factory supports the following URI format
  *
• failover:[strategy:]urlList
  *
• Where strategy and urlList are variables
  *
• strategy = the ConnectionStrategy name, such as "sticky", "round-robin",
• or "random". This parameter is optional.
  *
• urlList = a comma separated list connection URIs. There must be a
• ConnectionFactory installed for the associated URI.
  *
• Some examples might be:
  *
• - failover:ejbd://foo:4201,ejbd://bar:4201
• - failover:random:ejbd://foo:4201,ejbd://bar:4201
• - failover:round-robin:ejbd://foo:4201,ejbds://bar:4201,multicast://239.255.2.3:6142
  *
• The final URI being the most clever in that it will sequentially go
• through the list, first attempting a couple hard-coded addresses before
• finally resorting to multicast in an attempt to discover a server.
