[rabbitmq-discuss] surviving a consumer disconnection using DefaultConsumer

[rails]

using java client QueueingConsumer I wrote the following code to assist
consumer recovery

while (true) {
   try{
      .. create connection
      .. create channel & queue
      while (true) {
             final QueueingConsumer.Delivery delivery = consumer.nextDelivery();
             ....
      } catch {
          handleException()
      }
}

And every time I restarted rabbit it survived cause it created the
connection from start.
Now, I understand I should be working with DefaultConsumer.
So I have this method

public void handleDelivery(...) throws IOException {
}

and my problems are :

   1. I cant catch the exception inside and recreate the connection
   2. This only recovers when the ack fails. What if it fails in another
   stage of the process? How should I recover these fails?
   3. Thanks.
