[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-899) Message: remove dest_addr

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-899?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12454166#action_12454166 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-899:
-------------------------------

There would also have to be an additional send() method in JChannel, e.g.

void send(Address dest, Message msg);

Message itself only has
- src address
- payload
- headers

> We don't need this field, this will save us some memory. Note that today dest_addr is *not* shipped with a message, but nevertheless filled in on the receiving side.
> We have tests which use dest_addr to determine whether the message is a unicast or multicast message. This should go away, too, and be replaced by a flag in the message itself, ie. MULTICAST. Maybe add a method Message.isMulticast().
