[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Clustering on JBoss] - JBAS-6089: Disable Client Auto-Discovery By Default?

[jiwils]

It's been requested that in future JBoss releases, the use of auto-discovery by clients be disabled by default.  JBAS-6089 [1] captures this feature request, and this forum thread is for capturing the discussion surrounding this JIRA.

Essentially, in the cases where the provided JNDI URL isn't available, auto-discovery can cause unexpected behavior as it is possible to connect to clusters that have nothing to do with the client.

Potential workarounds are:

* Use of the -g run.bat/run.sh command line argument as the client will only accept replies from "DefaultPartition" clusters by default.

* Use of -u run.bat/run.sh command line argument as this causes the auto-discovery service to listen to the specified multicast address rather than the default so it won't get the client request in the first place.

Thoughts?
