Where are reconnection strategies configured?

• A. In connector properties in XML
• B. In flow charts
• C. In the global default exception strategy
• D. In the application properties

Answer: (A)

Reconnection strategies are configured in the connector’s configuration block inside the XML. That’s where a connector’s behavior for re-establishing a dropped connection is defined, including how long to wait between attempts, backoff behavior, and the maximum number of retries. The flow itself is about routing and processing messages, not how connections are recovered. The global default exception strategy handles errors during processing, not the mechanics of reconnecting, and application properties are for externalized values used by the application, not the connector’s reconnection logic. In short, put the reconnection policy where the connector is defined in the XML.
