I get an exception:

javax.jms.JMSException: Could not connect to broker URL:
tcp://localhost:61616. Reason: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Which is what i'd expect.  Here's the URL I passed:

String url = "failover:tcp://localhost:61616";

I have two apps.  The first runs the broker.  The second is a JMS client.  I
need to provide the robustness to allow for the second to start first, and
keep trying to connect until the broker app comes up.

I probably could've explained this better from the get-go...sorry.

FWIW, If I start the broker first, the client second - then kill the broker
- the client crashes...and it doesn't look like it is trying to reconnect. 
Here's the exception:

Caught: javax.jms.JMSException: The transport
tcp://localhost/127.0.0.1:61616 of type:
org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpTransport is not running.
     [java] javax.jms.JMSException: The transport
tcp://localhost/127.0.0.1:61616 of type:
