Hi List,

Only just joined, im not sure if this is the right place to post or not so let me know if it isnt.

Im trying to use JGroups in a project.

First things first tried running a very simple example but couldnt get the two machines to talk to each other, i read all the documentation but still couldnt work out why.

I tried using the webstart demo of the draw (found here http://www.jgroups.org/demos.html) thats actually the replicatedcache demo and to my surprise it worked.

I downloaded the .jar that the jnlp uses and ran it from the command line and got:


---------------------------------------------------------
GMS: address is 192.168.1.69:54939 (cluster=replcache-cluster)
---------------------------------------------------------



Now when I tried to run the ReplCacheDemo from within the jgroups-all.jar I get the following:



java -cp jgroups-all.jar org.jgroups.demos.ReplCacheDemo

14-Dec-2009 20:17:24 org.jgroups.logging.JDKLogImpl info
INFO: JGroups version: 2.8.0.CR7

-------------------------------------------------------------------
GMS: address=M-Win7-38823, cluster=replcache-cluster, physical address=fe80:0:0:
0:69e5:8edf:3e90:e817:62330
-------------------------------------------------------------------


So im not sure whats going on here, it looks like the jnlp demo is using a different GMS (?) settings to the one in jgroups-all.jar, so I tried to take the udp.xml file from the jnlp jar and use it in a simple example and I get the follwing errors:
