Hi, all!

I'm facing now with the following problem: I have to detect any failures in MQ Messaging system. It's pretty easy to detect when MQ Queue manager goes down (all the connected JMS receivers instantly get an exception in that case). But how to detect broker shutdown? It is inappropriate to wait until NO_BROKER_RESPONSE exception is thrown. I have to detect broker failure as soon as possible. I'm also not pleased to write a C/C++ application which watches broker process (maybe broker can malfunction without dying). Changing broker timeout (if possible) is not a good idea too, because of increased broker response time on heavy-loaded server.
Please tell, if there is pure-Java (or less preferably not pure java) solution of this problem?

Thanks in advance!
