org.jgroups.protocols.ClientGmsImpl

public class ClientGmsImpl
extends GmsImpl

Client part of GMS. Whenever a new member wants to join a group, it starts in the CLIENT role. No multicasts to the group will be received and processed until the member has been joined and turned into a SERVER (either coordinator or participant, mostly just participant). This class only implements Join (called by clients who want to join a certain group, and ViewChange which is called by the coordinator that was contacted by this client, to tell the client what its initial membership is.

Method Detail

init

public void init()

Specified by:

init in class GmsImpl

join

public void join(Address mbr)

Will generate a CONNECT_OK event. Determines the coordinator and sends a unicast join() message to it. If successful, we wait for a ViewChange (can time out). If view change is received, impl is changed to an instance of ParticipantGmsImpl. Otherwise, we continue trying to send join() messages to the coordinator, until we succeed (or there is no member in the group. In this case, we create our own singleton group).

When GMS.disable_initial_coord is set to true, then we won't become coordinator on receiving an initial membership of 0, but instead will retry (forever) until we get an initial membership of > 0.

Specified by:

join in class GmsImpl

Parameters:

mbr - Our own address (assigned through SET_LOCAL_ADDRESS)

leave

public void leave(Address mbr)

Specified by:

leave in class GmsImpl

suspect

public void suspect(Address mbr)

Specified by:

suspect in class GmsImpl

merge

public void merge(java.util.Vector other_coords)

Specified by:

merge in class GmsImpl

handleJoin

public boolean handleJoin(Address mbr)

Specified by:

handleJoin in class GmsImpl

handleLeave

public void handleLeave(Address mbr,
               boolean suspected)

Returns false. Clients don't handle leave() requests

Specified by:

handleLeave in class GmsImpl

handleViewChange

public void handleViewChange(ViewId new_view,
                    java.util.Vector mems)

Install the first view in which we are a member. This is essentially a confirmation of our JOIN request (see join() above).

Specified by:

handleViewChange in class GmsImpl

handleMerge

public View handleMerge(ViewId other_view,
               java.util.Vector other_members)

Returns immediately. Clients don't handle merge() requests

Specified by:

handleMerge in class GmsImpl

handleSuspect

public void handleSuspect(Address mbr)

Returns immediately. Clients don't handle suspect() requests

Specified by:

handleSuspect in class GmsImpl

handleUpEvent

public boolean handleUpEvent(Event evt)

Overrides:
