Thanks Bill,

I suspect the thread bug was fixed in 3.0.1, are you able to confirm?

I think I can provide a fix for sluggish discovery.

One of the changes with River 3.0 was to remove instances of unsafe publication, that is allowing a reference to "this" to escape during object construction.

LookupDiscovery was changed to implement Startable (which allows threads to start and safe publication to occur after construction), and LookupDiscoveryManager was also changed, to ensure safe publication.

LookupDiscoveryManager utilises LookupDiscovery to perform discovery.

I suspect the problem is LookupDiscovery starts before the safe publication of LookupDiscoveryManager, so that LDM is not notified immediately, becuase LookupDiscovery doesn't have a reference to it yet.

It will be a simple fix to delay starting of LookupDiscovery until after LookupDiscoveryManager publication is complete.

Would you like me to provide a patch?

Regards,

Peter.

  Hi Peter,
More from theseasonal djinn…
So, I had a littlemore patience with River 3.0’s unadorned 
LookupDiscoveryManager,and it did indeed recognised the existence of an already 
running 3.0djinn, but only after a fashion. River 2.3.3’sLookupDiscoveryManager 
recognises the same djinn immediately.
Also noted was atermination concern with 3.0’s LookupDiscoveryManager, which 
keepthreads
     sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@blah_thread-0,and    Thread-1 (?)
running permanently.
The former is a bitof a bind, but the latter can be worked around with a system 
exit of0, much as must be done in QA.
Kind regards,



Bill

  Hi Bill,

Are you trying to discover a lookup service provided by River 2.2.X?

Which version of discovery are you using?  V2 is now enabled by default
in 3.0.X, you won't discover any V1 lookup services unless you enable it
by passing in a ConstrainableLookupLocator using InvocationConstraint
with DiscoveryProtocolVersion.ONE to LookupDiscoveryManager's constructor.

If you're still using V1, I'd suggest using LookupLocators to support
both discovery versions 1 and 2, which should allow you to migrate off
version 1.

Version 1 discovery has been deprecated and will likely be removed in a
future version of River, for now at least, it can still be re-enabled.

If this isn't the cause, can you enable the loggers for LookupDiscover
and LookupDiscoveryManager and send us the output?

Regards,

Peter.

Hi all. Season’s greetings… well, almost.
Apologies for coming over the dev@ wire, but the user@ wire seems to be 
defunct. Anyway, I’m designing something for River, so I don’t feel too bad.
I’m having problems with LookupDiscoveryManager in 3.0.0 and 3.0.1. My call is 
simple,
       new LookupDiscoveryManager(LookupDiscovery.ALL_GROUPS, null, 
(DiscoveryListener) this);
but this refuses to discover anything. However, it works in 2.2.3, for the same 
djinn.
Is something broken?

Kind regards,
Bill
