Use of a Spring ``++SingleConnectionFactory++`` without enabling the ``++reconnectOnException++`` setting will prevent automatic connection recovery when the connection goes bad.
That's because the ``++reconnectOnException++`` property defaults to ``++false++``. As a result, even if the code that uses this connection factory (Spring's ``++DefaultMessageListenerContainer++`` or your own code) has reconnect logic, that code won't work because the ``++SingleConnectionFactory++`` will act like a single-connection pool by preventing connection ``++close++`` calls from actually closing anything. As a result, subsequent factory ``++create++`` operations will just hand back the original broken ``++Connection++``.
