[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Clustering on JBoss (Clusters/JBoss)] - Re: JBAS-4919 - ha singletons in heterogenous topologies

LOL. I pick #1 or #3. :-) #4 isn't an option -- the code's in EAP; it's supported. #3 seems to be along the lines of the standard policy in EAP; we don't just fix everything we think of, since the fix could introduce other issues. We are conservative. Would #1 be that bad? You create ExtendedHASingletonElectionPolicy with the missing methods from the AS 5 API. If the injected policy implements Extended, you invoke on it the way AS 5 does. Otherwise it gets used as it is now. In ExtendedHASingletonElectionPolicy javadoc, any HASingletonElectionPolicy methods that don't get called anymore should have comments noting that fact. Don't get me wrong; I can see how it would get messy. #3 is OK. I know you did a lot of refactoring to tighten things up in trunk, i.e. with HASingletonElectionPolicyBase; that doesn't need to happen in 4.x, and *shouldn't* happen if it might break some custom subclass. HASingletonElectionPolicySimple just needs to work correctly. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4141508#...
