Description

I am currently in the process of designing a high availability solution for our software. We are using the Java broker, and we have Java, Ruby, C++, and Python clients. I was reading your High Availability document at http://qpid.apache.org/books/0.18/AMQP-Messaging-Broker-Java-Book/html/High-Availability.html and saw a footnote at the bottom stating "[1] The automatic failover feature is available only for AMQP connections from the Java client. Management connections (JMX) do not current offer this feature." Is this still the case or was this fixed in .20? If this is still the case, will it be fixed in a future release?
