[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-209) SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() not safe across platforms

SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() not safe across platforms --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-209 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-209 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 7.1.2.Final-redhat1 The usage of java.net.MulticastSocket is one of the areas where the JDK does a poor job of abstracting away the underlying OS. Patterns of MulticastSocket construction that work well on BSD-based OSs don't work on Windows and vice versa. SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() should adapt the code used in JGroups for dealing with this.
