Third server not discovered by second server with LateralTCP

Hello,

we use an net with 3 servers and use the LateralTCP protocol.
We don´t use musticast (jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.UdpDiscoveryEnabled =
false).
Each server is configured the other two servers with
jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TcpServers.

At first we start server 1.
Server 1 tries to connect to server 2 and 3.

Then we start server 2.
Server 2 connects to server 1 but does not try to connect to server 3.
Server 1 connects to server 2

Then we start server 3.
Server 3 connects to server 1 and 2.
Server 1 connects to server 3.

The error:
Server 2 never tries to connect to server 3 and so the puts of server 2
never reach server 3.

This error occurs with 3 servers on 3 nodes and also with 3 servers on the
same node.


we found a solution for the problem:
In the class
org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.socket.tcp.LateralTCPCacheManager the Map
"instances" is synchronised at getInstance() but not at getInstances(). So
an inconsistent value of instances may be got by call of getInstances().
The following change of getInstances() fixes the problem:

    public Map getInstances()
    {
        synchronized ( instances ) {
            return instances;
        }
    }

We use new and fast machines, maybe that older and slower machines does not
produce this synchronisation error.

best regards,

Dieter
