Yes, definitely. > If so, I will need to add some new >methods to the HierarchyEventListener interface, specifically >shutdownEvent().

I think we have to put much more effort into the definition of the hierarchy life cycle. The current definition of HierarchyEvent is patently lacking. We can either add methods to HierarchyEvent or alternatively add new event types. The Monitoring API of JMX is also worth a look. >advice or suggestions? > >-Mark -- Ceki TCP implementations will follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. -- Jon Postel, RFC 793 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
