[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-459) disable_initial_coord not working

disable_initial_coord not working ---------------------------------- Key: JGRP-459 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-459 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4.1 SP1 Environment: mac os x, Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-164) Reporter: Graeme Ahokas Assigned To: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.5 We've got the following scenario: three applications, App1, App2, and App3. We want App3 to be the coordinator when the apps first start, so there is no confusion about multiple groups / coordinators. So, we set App1 and App2's disable_initial_coord = true, and App3's disable_initial_coord=false. Then we start App1, and it will wait. Then we start App2, and App1 / App2 will determine a coordinator, even though disable_initial_coord is set to true for both, and we have not started App3 yet! This seems to conflict with the documentation which states: Note that - if a member is started as first member of a group - but its property is set to true, then it will loop until another member whose disable_initial_coord property is set to false, is started. We need disable_initial_coord to work as documented.
