Unicast messages to unused port result in infinitely retransmission of message ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-357 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-357 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4 Reporter: Vincent Hartsteen Assigned To: Bela Ban In JGroups 2.4 (but probably this also happens in previous versions, did not verify this) we noticed that it is possible to send a message to a host:port that is not part of the group. This member might have been a member of the group but does not need to have been. This results in the retransmission of the message. However this retransmission never seems to end. The attached program demonstrates this. Use the properties file to assign a host-address and port the program will send messages to.
