Long lived JMS sessions. Is Keeping JMS connections / JMS sessions always opened a bad practice?

Question

Is keeping JMS connections / sessions / consumer always open a bad practice?

Code draft example:

// app startup code

ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionF         


        

Answer 1

FYI, there is no need to close the sessions, producers, and consumers of a closed connection( javax.jms.Connection ). The code below should be enough to release the resources:

try { 
        this.connection.close();
    } catch (JMSException e) {
        //
    }
