[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-2477) Reintroduce support for configuring a JChannel via URL

[ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2477?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Thomas Darimont updated JGRP-2477: ---------------------------------- Description: Infinispan 9.4.x (9.4.19) uses a URL to load the JGroups configuration from the infinispan configuration. When an external jgroups stack configuration file is used: See: "Using an external JGroups file" in https://infinispan.org/docs/9.4.x/user_guide/user_guide.html#using_an_ext... When creating the JGroups stack, infinispan uses the constructor in org.jgroups.JChannel#JChannel(...) which takes a URL as parameter. See: https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/9.4.x/core/src/main/java/or... However this constructor is only present in versions up-to including 4.0.22 https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/4.0.22/src/org/jgroups/JChannel.j... and was removed in later versions. Because of this users of infinispan 9.4.x, who use the "Using an external JGroups file" configuration approach cannot upgrade to new JGroups versions, like 4.2.3. In order to ease upgrading to newer JGroups versions with Infinispan 9.4.x. it would be very kind if the constructor with the URL parameter could be added back. I created a pull request to add the constructor {org.jgroups.JChannel#JChannel(java.net.URL)} to master, which can also be cherry-picked for the 4.x branch. was: Infinispan 9.4.x (9.4.19) uses a URL to load the JGroups configuration from the infinispan configuration.

I created two pull requests to add the constructor {org.jgroups.JChannel#JChannel(java.net.URL)} to master, as well as the 4.x branch. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.8#713008)
