Hi there,

I did what I described in my previous mail. Now DispatchConnection started
to misbehave. It tries to reconnect every 400 ms (and not the reconnection
delay), and on top of that, the client thought it was in synchronous mode
when the connection failed.

This failure (to detect the connection error properly) is due to
DispatchConnection.java: 486-493:

     if (ex != null) {
        if (retry(ex)) {
           toReconnected = false;
        }
        else {
           toReconnected = true;
        }
     }

The ex was "The hostname [***xx***] of url 'socket://***xx***:57608' is
invalid, check your '-plugin/socket/hostname <ip>' setting:
java.net.UnknownHostException: ***xx***"

The problem is that the address is OK, the machine just does not have
internet access, and no name server access either. This type of exception
should be handled as a simple communication exception, so retry(ex) should
return true in this case, too.

So this causes my listeners to think that the connection is OK
(toReconnected=true), and the code trying to reconnect at fixed 400ms
intervals.

thanks for your reply,
Balázs Póka
