[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-899) Message: remove dest_addr

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-899:
-------------------------------
The problem is that we would have to add a *non-null* dest_addr as a header because we
need it for sending and in UNICAST{2} for retransmission and therefore might as well leave
dest_addr in Message itself.
Message: remove dest_addr
-------------------------
Key: JGRP-899
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-899
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Fix For: 3.0
We don't need this field, this will save us some memory. Note that today dest_addr is
*not* shipped with a message, but nevertheless filled in on the receiving side.
We have tests which use dest_addr to determine whether the message is a unicast or
multicast message. This should go away, too, and be replaced by a flag in the message
itself, ie. MULTICAST. Maybe add a method Message.isMulticast().
