[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-291) PullPushAdapter starts thread in constructor before listeners are registered

PullPushAdapter starts thread in constructor before listeners are registered ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-291 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-291 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.3 Environment: All Reporter: Steve Nicolai Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.4 The PullPushAdapter has the ability to multiplex based on a Serializable identifier. Unfortunately, all the constructors start the adaptor. This makes it very difficult to register listeners via registerListener(Serializable identifier, MessageListener l) before the adaptor is started. When a new node is joining an existing cluster that is actively sending messages, there is a race between getting the listeners registered and a message arriving. Suggested fix: Remove the call to start() from the constructors, allowing the PullPushAdaptor to be constructed, the listeners to be registered, then start() the adaptor. For example: a = new PullPushAdaptor(.....) a.registerListener("id1", ....) a.registerListener("id2", ....) a.start();
