SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() not safe across platforms --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8470 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8470 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 7.0.0.M2 The usage of java.net.MulticastSocket is one of the areas where the JDK does a poor job of abstracting away the underlying OS. Patterns of MulticastSocket construction that work well on BSD-based OSs don't work on Windows and vice versa. SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() should adapt the code used in JGroups for dealing with this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
