[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-1280) Bind error messages should report incorrect IP addresses

Bind error messages should report incorrect IP addresses -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1280 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1280 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Affects Versions: 2.11 Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Bela Ban Labels: exceptions Fix For: 2.11.2, 2.12 Not tried on 2.12, etc as yet. This is when you specify an incorrect bind address - one that is not available on the target host - and instead of reporting this, JGroups attempts to increase the port number and retry, eventually failing with a port being out of range. This can be very misleading as it leads you to debug conflicting ports, etc., when in fact the problem is a badly configured IP address. This was reported a few years back on the forums, but I've still seen the issue on JGroups 2.11.
