number of homes != number of connecthomes => Error

[benawi]

Hello,

If the number of host entered in homes  does not equal  the connecthomes, then I will get following exception:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 2, Size: 2

    at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:547)

    at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:322)

    at org.jboss.remoting.transport.bisocket.BisocketServerInvoker.start(BisocketServerInvoker.java:285)

    at org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector.start(Connector.java:344)

for example:

bisocket://multihome:1234/?homes=myhost!localhost&connecthomes=exthost1!exthost2!localhost

homes has 2 parameters: myhost and localhost

connecthomes has 3 parameters: exthost1, exthost2 and localhost

It it a bug or feature?

I need 3 parameters for the connecthomes, since the server has to be reached from those two external hosts and off course from localhost.

Hi Gusti,

It's not a bug and I wouldn't call it a feature.  The "homes" parameter determines which addresses and ports a server should bind to.  If there is any address translation going on, then the client has to connect to the public address/port that gets translated to an internal address/port.  So each element in the "connecthomes" list is meant to translate to an address/port in the "homes" list.  I.e., there should be a one-one relationship, matched on position, between the two lists.

Make sense?
