[javagroups-users] When is viewAccepted event fired?

[Chris B. <bow...@ho...>]

I apologize up front for my newbie question. I read various help pages 
on JGroups but couldn't find an obvious answer to my question.

We are using the Channel object within JGroups 2.2.9 and implement both 
the MembershipListener and MessageListener interfaces. When one member 
is disconnected from the network, the suspect() event is fired and 
viewAccepted() is called shortly afterwards to indicate that the member 
has been removed from the Group. When the network connection is restored 
JGroups doesn't fire the viewAccepted method to indicate a member has 
rejoined the group. Is this to be expected? If so what is the 
recommendation method of checking to see if old members can be 
re-connected to the Group.

Thanks,

Chris
