[javagroups-users] Multiple JGroups Channels

[Angeline C. <fis...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm using JGroups for a project right now, and it's something like this...
We have a main system that will run on several computers in a network and
talk to each other, but this system also runs some other separate
components (as required by the user) such as a chat program. These
components on the different computers will also communicate among each
other. Both the chat component and the main system uses JGroups.

However, sometimes some of the chat components will hang there for a long
while trying to join their channel, and when another node exits they will
suddenly be able to join it. Sometimes, the nodes in the same channel will
also just suddenly not be able to see each other any longer, even though
all the computers are connected via a stable LAN network.

The problem here (I think) is that they use the same config file so they
multicast on the same port, but I'm not sure how to change the port for
each channel... Is there a way to do so programatically?

Or does anyone know if this issue is due to something else I'm doing
wrongly? The main system doesn't seem to have any visible problems with the
communication at the moment.

I'm new at this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!


*Warm Regards,
