Subject: Binding a multicast socket to a port in use.
Hello all,
I'm trying to port a Java server from Windows to Linux. Both need
to
be interoperable and the clients (Win*/Linux on x86) need to be able to
connect to either.
On the Windows platform, the developers were able to bind a
MulticastSocket to a port already in use by other (non-Multicast)
sockets. However, when the code tries to do this on Linux I get a
BindException: Address already in use. Of course, this doesn't happen
when I feed it a port not in use. However, this really isn't a viable
solution for various reasons (the process currently fails for other
reasons because of using a different port).
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this without resorting to
using a different port? Also, does anyone know specifically why this is
different between the two environments?
Thanks!
