In the case Asterisk-Java gets disconnected for whatever reason it will
automatically reconnect...

No, autoreconnect is a basic feature of the ManagerConnection.
What you can configure is if Asterisk-Java should also try to reconnect
when authentication fails. That is disabled by default and can be
enabled by using DefaultManagerConnection's
setKeepAliveAfterAuthenticationFailure() method.

Thats the way it should work ;)
To help you regarding this issue I need some further information.
Please enable logging and send me the logs.
The best way to do this is to include the log4j jar in your classpath
along with log4.properties file that might look like this:

log4j.rootCategory=3DINFO, File

log4j.appender.File =3D org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.File.file =3D asterisk-java.log
log4j.appender.File.append =3D false
log4j.appender.File.layout =3D org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern =3D %d %c %p - %m\n
