Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1097:
--------------------------------

I don't think this is needed as the vars you listed are mostly set at channel creation time

> using latest sourceforge cvs repository snapshot (from logger 'INFO: JGroups version: 2.8.0.CR6').
> while this is not causing any noticicable failures in our testing I noticed that the 
> connected and closed flags are set in synchronized but read in unsynchronized methods - patch file attached.
> *note* also attached in patch : made additional_data a concurrent hashmap:
> protected final Map<String,Object> additional_data=new ConcurrentHashMap<String,Object>();
> as I think concurrently executing send(Message msg) operations which call ' down(new Event(Event.MSG, msg));' 
> which in turn calls additional_data.putAll(m) will result in inconsistent hashmap state if putAll operations are concurrent 
> but as I am unfamiliar with the code I am not sure what is the best way to address this.
