Partition in JBOSS-3.0.4

[theone]

Hi,
I am trying to make an application work in a clustered env. However i dont want any "UNWANTED" person to join the cluster by accident. Can somebody tell me if changing the partition name from "DefaultPartition" to "XYZPartition" will be useful. If yes, plz let me know the way i will be doing it bcoz i tried to change the names in the cluster-service.xml but still it showed me that it has started it in the default partition. Plz let me know if it is possible thru someother way as well. I am using JBOSS-3.0.4.
thanx in advance.

I suggest that:
- you use a newer release
- you don't change the partition name but more simply the multicast address, it is much better.

Hi sacha,
Thanx for the reply. I got my mcast address altered by adding following lines.

DefaultPartition
true


<UDP mcast_addr="229.1.2.3" mcast_port="45566"/>


<VERIFY_SUSPECT timeout="1500"/>


<STATE_TRANSFER />






Now i start the servers(2 jboss servers) and access the application. Goes fine. Now i shut down one of the servers , the load gets transferred to the the single server. The problem is if restart my second server now , it does not get detected in the cluster. Moreover it never showed me any information regarding the number of members in the cluster, or if a member goes dead at any point of time. Any suggestions.

regards
Theone.

Can you please try with a recent JBoss release (3.0.8) as some merge problems have been fixed in the meantime.

Cheers
