    HA JNDI peculiar behavior ?

    amyrlinseat

      Hi all,
      I have 2 JBoss instances (3.2.3 on Windows 2003) in a cluster, and I have a client Java application (in a separate VM) that tries a JNDI lookup. The Jndi.Properties of the client is:

      java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
      java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

      So since provider url is not defined, it should look for the HA Jndi.

      I create the initial context in the usual way:
      javax.naming.InitialContext initialContext = new javax.naming.InitialContext();

      when I do initialContext.lookup(), it succeeds or fails as follows:

      If the 2 JBoss instances are up, the lookup succeeds.
      If the 2 JBoss instances were up, and then one goes down, I am left with a single JBoss - the lookup succeeds.

      If only a single JBoss is up, the lookup fails!

      The exception I get is below.

      Is this behavior by design or is it a bug.
      If it is by design, what is the intention of this design. I would like the client to succeed in all cases. Why should it care that the cluster has only 1 node?


      TIA
      Evyatar.

          One more thing:, when a single JBoss is up, and the lookup throws the exception in the client, on the JBoss I get the following DEBUG message:

          [org.jboss.ha.jndi.HANamingService$AutomaticDiscovery][HAJNDI-AutomaticDiscovery] Ignoring discovery request for partition: 1100

          (the first [] is the class name, the second [] is the thread name)
