public class FailoverConnectionFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements ConnectionFactory

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.
