Add Protocol.setProperties(Map<String, String>) method to allow programmatic configuration of arbitrary properties ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-2226 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2226 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 4.0.7 Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Paul Ferraro Fix For: 4.0.8 Currently, arbitrary protocol properties can only be configured programmatically via the setValue(String, Object) method. This has the following limitations: * If these are truly arbitrary properties, we don't necessarily know the types * This method relies on field names, not @Property names * This method does not support @Property methods This new setProperties(Map<String, String>) should throw an IllegalArgumentException if any of the properties are invalid.
