Hello tomcat developers,
In tomcat 4.0.4-b1 src code I had a quick look thru and found the following
in org.apache.catalina.cluster:
public class MulticastSender
extends ClusterSessionBase implements ClusterSender {
// ----------------------------------------------------- Instance
Variables
/**
* The unique message ID
*/
private static String senderId = null;
/**
* The name of our component, used for logging.
*/
private String senderName = "MulticastSender";
/**
* The MulticastSocket to use
*/
private MulticastSocket multicastSocket = null;
/**
* The multicastAdress this socket is bound to
*/
private InetAddress multicastAddress = null;
/**
* The multicastPort this socket is bound to
*/
private int multicastPort;
// --------------------------------------------------------- Public
Methods
/**
* Create a new MulticastSender, only receivers with our
* senderId will receive our data.
*
* @param senderId The senderId
* @param multicastSocket the socket to use
* @param multicastAddress the address to use
* @param multicastPort the port to use
*/
MulticastSender(String senderId, MulticastSocket multicastSocket,
InetAddress multicastAddress, int multicastPort) {
this.multicastAddress = multicastAddress;
this.multicastPort = multicastPort;
this.multicastSocket = multicastSocket;
this.senderId = senderId;
The senderId is static ( a class variable, yes? ) but the comment says that
it is an instance variable and in the constructor it is refered to as an
instance variable instead of a class variable. Is this intentional?
regards,
Chris Munroe.
