Mule - JMS (ActiveMQ) Reconnection - groovy

Question

This is my mule flow 1:
HTTP > Payload String > Logger > JMS /normalqueue
The first flow has an error handling:
File (Write a file per message handled)
Flow 2:
JMS /normalqueue > Logger
Recovery flow (Invoked with a groovy script):
File (Read file) > File to String > Flow reference (To First Flow again)
This is the XML from Mule:

</scripting:component>
<set-payload value="#[message.payloadAs(java.lang.String)]" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger message="#[message.payloadAs(java.lang.String)]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</flow>
I stop service from ActiveMQ, it store a file with the messages from the error handling and I receive the typical error:
Cannot process event as "Active_MQ" is stopped
Then, I run the ActiveMQ service again and start the recovery flow with a groovy script. That flow recover all messages, converts to string and return to the first flow to requeue.
The problem is that mule doesn't detect when service is running again, I need to restart the mule project to detect it.
Is there any way auto detect when the activeMQ is running again with Mule?

By <reconnect-forever/>, Mule will keep re-trying to connect to ActiveMQ
<jms:activemq-connector name="Active_MQ" username="admin" password="admin" brokerURL="tcp://192.168.198.131:61616" validateConnections="true" doc:name="Active MQ" persistentDelivery="true">
<reconnect-forever/>
</jms:activemq-connector>
