[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5598) It must be possible to define a cluster connection without static connectors or discovery-group

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5598?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Jeff Mesnil commented on AS7-5598: ---------------------------------- for reference, our IRC logs: <fborges> AndyTaylor, Jeff was pointing out that our ClusterConnection class accepts null's for the discoveryGroup of the static connectors AndyTaylor, is it the case, that we assume that IF the (other) connector is !null, we can allow these as null? <AndyTaylor> fborges: can you point me at what you mean <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, if both the discovery group and the static connectors are null, we instantiate a StaticClusterConnector with a null tcConfigs AndyTaylor, imho, if the tcConfigs is null we should throw an exception. Otherwise we end up with a cluster connection with nothing to know the cluster <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: don't we use this for one way connectors, in cluster rings etc <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, ah good point AndyTaylor, mmmh, if we define no static connectors, what does the cluster connection do? <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: hmmm, yeah, maybe i am confusing it with something else <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, I'll think about it but I think it's a bug to allow a cluster connection w/o a way to connect to the cluster :) <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: let me check the examples. im sure there is one where we dont set either <fborges> AndyTaylor, jmesnil fwiw, I am running all the unittests with a check forbidding null discoveryGroup or null staticConnectors <AndyTaylor> fborges: jmesnil: see static-one-way example fborges: jmesnil it works with allow-direct-connections-only so nodes can conenct to it but it cant connect to nodes <AndyTaylor> fborges: + since we made the change that cluster connection size > 0 = clustered means we need to allow it <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, you mean clustered-static-oneway? <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: yes sorry <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, in that case, it must still define a connector to be able to hop to the next node <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: there is no next node, its at the end of the chain <fborges> jmesnil, AndyTaylor it makes sense jmesnil, AndyTaylor I will add some comments to ClusterConnection on it... <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, fborges. Ok I understand that we must be able to create cluster connections without discovery group or static connectors <jmesnil> AndyTaylor, fborges: I suppose this means we must also accept this for core bridges and JMS cf / pooled CF <AndyTaylor> jmesnil: im not so sure about that -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
