[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-3587) Add a startup switch to configure TCPPING.initial_hosts

Add a startup switch to configure TCPPING.initial_hosts ------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3587 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3587 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Clustering Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assigned To: Brian Stansberry Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta, JBossAS-4.0.6.CR1 As discussed on conf call, we want to make it easy to switch from a UDP-based JGroups config to a TCP-based one. With the multiplexer this can be as simple as switching the multiplexer stack name in the various config files. One thing that makes the switch a pain is the need to configure initial_hosts in TCPPING. We should make a startup switch and system property to allow this to be externalized from the xml file, e.g: <TCPPING initial_hosts={${jboss.tcp.initial.hosts:localhost[7800]} ... Should discuss on the forum whether we want a startup switch or just a property set via -D. My preference is a switch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
