ViewAccepted is not received as expected. ----------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-369 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-369 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4 Environment: Windows XP. java version "1.6.0-rc" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-rc-b104) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-rc-b104, mixed mode, sharing) Version: 2.4.0 CVS: $Id: Version.java,v 1.42 2006/10/31 12:45:32 belaban Exp $ History: (see doc/history.txt for details) Reporter: ￘yvind Eikeland Assigned To: Bela Ban Hi, We're evaluating JGroups and find its functionality very useful so far. We have built an application using State transfer using JChannel.getState() and message sending using PushPullAdapter.send(). We depend on viewAccepted messages to be securely sent and received. I've discovered behaviour that seems like a bug - please advise if we can configure the protocol stack differently to avoid this issue. I've reproduced the behaviour using org.jgroups.demos.Draw application. It happens almost every time. You should be able to do the same. 1. start 3 clients in different dos shells. (java -classpath %CP% org.jgroups.demos.Draw) 2. stop the coordinator client using the "Leave" button in the GUI. Do not kill the VM. A viewAccepted message is sent to the other two apps. A new coordinator is elected by Jgroups. 3. start the first client again. A viewAccepted message is received by all clients 4. kill the coordinator client (kill the VM). I guess this is the same behaviour as if the network was partitioned. Now, only suspect messages are coming through - indefinetely (Draw does not print those messages). A view accepted is not received. If you skip step 2 and 3 above, and only do 1 and 4, a viewAccepted message is sent and it all works. I edited ExtendedReceiverAdapter to print this message for convenience: public void suspect(Address suspected_mbr) { System.out.println("Received suspect: " + suspected_mbr.toString()); } Question: - is this a bug, or is it something wrong with the protocol setup, that we can change to make this work?
