[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Clustering on JBoss] - API modifications for better extensibility ?

Hi all, I'm starting to work on the task of providing clustering and failover capabilities to our Mobicents Sip Servlets container working on top of JBoss AS 5.1.CR1. See http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/issues/detail?id=521 I took the AS 5.1.CR1 as a basis for my work and the corresponding 2.0.0.GA tags for the different HA sub projects. the initial import of my code is located here : http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/source/detail?r=6013 This is not working yet but as I extended the JBoss cluster classes I noticed that few API changes would make my life a lot easier and would provide better integration, so here are my requests, please comment or tell me if I need to open one or multiple JIRA issues if you do agree with the changes : JBossCacheManager * initSnapshotManager to be made protected so that it can be overriden (so that we can set our own converged snapshotManager) * getSnapshotManager() and setSnapshotManager() public methods or snapShotManager_ field to be made protected * installValves and installValve methods to be made protected so that they can be overriden (we need that to install our custom JVMRouteValve) * Ideally, methods such as start/stopEmbedded and UnEmbedded and the methods they use internally should be made protected too AbstractJBossCacheService * make the storeSessionOwners protected so that we can reuse it IntervalSnapshotManager * make the fields protected View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4231452#...
