[rabbitmq-discuss] Heartbeat -> re-establish connection flow Question

[m.luchak at smartasking.com]

Hi All,
 
We are running rabbitmq on Android and continue to have serious problems with maintaining a 3G tcp consumer connection.  We have implemented heartbeats but I am struggling to understand the flow to monitor and re-establish connections.  If I understand correctly:
 
Enabling heartbeats WITHOUT handling ShutdownSignalException would actually be counter productive as a number of missed heartbeats would close the connection.
 
 
Is the "right way to do it" :
 
Enable heartbeats on the server
 
Setting (in Java) factory.setRequestedHeartbeat(HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT);  will "auto-magically" enable      heartbeats on the client and no other call is neccessary to send heartbeats <- (big doubt here)
 
Handle ShutdownSignalException cause and reconnect if it was a hard close..
 
Does that sound about right?
 
thanks all,
Matthew
