HASingleton - Determine which node in the cluster is the mas

[azagniotov]

Hi,

I am running JBoss 4.2.2, and i have a cluster of four nodes.

One of the requirements, that i have to implement is to determine which node in the cluster is the master node. Currently, the way i am doing this now is asking for a current view in HAPartition:

private String getMasterSocket() {

 HAPartition partition = this.getPartition();

 if (partition != null) {

 if (partition.getCurrentView() != null) {
 return partition.getCurrentView().get(0).toString();

 } else {
 return null;
 }
 } else {
 return null;
 }
 }

The method above returns to me a socket of a master node. I am using this socket to get a proxy to a service on the master node.

My question is:

Is there any other way to determine which node in the cluster is the master node?


Thank you
