Changing signature of Channel.down() breaks drop in replacement with JGroups <= 2.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-449
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-449
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.5
         Environment: JGroups 2.5 beta-1
            Reporter: Michael Newcomb
         Assigned To: Bela Ban


Changing the signatue for Channel.down() from:

void down(Event e);

to:

Object down(Event e);

Causes NoSuchMethodError to be thrown in JBoss 4.0.5.

This is not a super major issue (just need to recompile JBoss), but since our project doesn't like the idea of recompiling JBoss (want to get it directly from the site) it is a show stopper.

If drop-in replacement for JGroups <= 2.4 is a requirment, something will have to be done but the result of Channel.down() is only used in a few places, so it shouldn't be too much to get it to work.

It looks like it is just the JBoss HA service that uses Channel.down() explicitly.
