It seems that I only need to add a property to specify a "preferred" master node for a HASingletonElectionPolicy. However, there is no constructor from ClusterNodeImpl or IpAddress to take a single representation String, e.g. inetaddress:port I can use two properties though, it will look like: | <property name="preferredMasterInetaddres">127.0.0.1</property> | <property name="preferredMasterPort">1234</property> | Then people have to remember to set up both entries, which is not good. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks! -Alex http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4228 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4110597#...
