Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding the first problem. I see the view change on node 1 when I Ctrl-C JBoss on node 2. However, I don't see the view change when I unplug the network cable. Here is what's logged when I unplug the cable: 10:41:27,090 INFO [dragoneyes] (UpHandler (STATE_TRANSFER)) Suspected member: 192.168.69.253:33013 10:41:27,092 INFO [dragoneyes] (UpHandler (STATE_TRANSFER)) New cluster view for partition dragoneyes (id: 2, delta: -1) : [192.168.69.122:1099] 10:41:27,092 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) I am (192.168.69.122:1099) received membershipChanged event: 10:41:27,092 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) Dead members: 1 ([192.168.69.253:1099]) 10:41:27,092 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) New Members : 0 ([]) 10:41:27,093 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) All Members : 1 ([192.168.69.122:1099]) Here is what's logged when the cable is plugged back in: 10:42:12,912 INFO [dragoneyes] (UpHandler (STATE_TRANSFER)) New cluster view for partition dragoneyes (id: 3, delta: 1) : [192.168.69.122:1099, 192.168.69.253:1099] 10:42:12,914 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) Merging partitions... 10:42:12,914 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) Dead members: 0 10:42:12,914 INFO [dragoneyes] (AsynchViewChangeHandler Thread) Originating groups: [[192.168.69.122:32809|2] [192.168.69.122:32809], [192.168.69.253:33013|2] [192.168.69.253:33013]] JBoss/JGroups sees the loss and restoration of the network. Is there no way to hook into UpHandler or AsynchViewChangeHandler to catch the notification? The viewChange method just isn't doing it.
