>             Project: JGroups
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.8
>            Reporter: Mirko Streckenbach
>            Assignee: Bela Ban
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 5.0, 4.2.1

> The documentation at 
> http://www.jgroups.org/manual/html/user-advanced.html#ForkChannelCreation
> has the following example:
> {code}
> JChannel main_ch=new JChannel("/home/bela/udp.xml").name("A");
> ForkChannel fork_ch=new ForkChannel(main_ch, "lock", "fork-ch4",
>                                     new CENTRAL_LOCK(), new STATS());
> fork_ch.connect("bla");
> main_ch.connect("cluster");
> {code}
> This does not work as "fork_ch.connect" will throw an IllegalStateException because the main channel is not connected at that point.
> But if the connects are reversed, messages for the fork channel may arrive before the fork channel is fully established and cause warnings like
> {code}
> Feb 20, 2020 6:15:37 PM org.jgroups.protocols.FORK$1 handleUnknownForkChannel
> WARNING: marian-20309: fork-channel for id=fork-ch4 not found; discarding message
> {code}
> My application will send a message to every new member in the cluster on a specific fork channel (in  ReceiverAdapter.viewAccepted). These message usually get lost. Is there an alternate pattern for that?
> I can provide example code if required.
