[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-449) Changing signature of Channel.down() breaks drop in replacement with JGroups <= 2.4

Changing signature of Channel.down() breaks drop in replacement with JGroups <= 2.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-449 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-449 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.5 Environment: JGroups 2.5 beta-1 Reporter: Michael Newcomb Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.5 Changing the signatue for Channel.down() from: void down(Event e); to: Object down(Event e); Causes NoSuchMethodError to be thrown in JBoss 4.0.5. This is not a super major issue (just need to recompile JBoss), but since our project doesn't like the idea of recompiling JBoss (want to get it directly from the site) it is a show stopper. If drop-in replacement for JGroups <= 2.4 is a requirment, something will have to be done but the result of Channel.down() is only used in a few places, so it shouldn't be too much to get it to work. It looks like it is just the JBoss HA service that uses Channel.down() explicitly.
