Refactor Replicator so it won't be forced to provide noop implementation for Distributor's methods. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMESSAGING-192 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-192 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Task Components: Messaging Core Distributed Support Affects Versions: 1.0.0 alpha PR2 (clustered) Reporter: Ovidiu Feodorov Assigned To: Tim Fox Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.2.0.Alpha1 A replicator doesn't really need to implement org.jboss.messaging.core.Router, since its receivers are remote. It only needs support for Set handle(DeliveryObserver observer, Routable routable, Transaction transaction) However, currently the easiest way to plug a Replicator into the ChannelSupport implementation is to declare it Router. Refractor this and split the Router interface (and ChannelSupport implementation) in two distinct parts: MultiReceiver (or some other name) and Distributor. Look for UnsupportedOperationException in org.jboss.messaging.core.distributed.replicator.Replicator.
