MPING: OutOfMemory exception can cause receiver thread to terminate ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-732 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-732 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.6.3, 2.7 In MPING, we have something like this: while(receiver is running) { try { receiver mcast packet create input stream parse data into message pass message up } finally { close input stream // <==== BUG } } If we get an OOME in the finally clause, then the receiver thread will terminate. This means we will not be able to handle discovery requests from other members any more ! FIX: we need to catch the closing of the input stream -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
