[Spread-users] "connection clsoed" problem

[Ryan Caudy]

Hi,

Spread certainly does support multiple connections from a single
process.  A quick check for your problem suggests a possible root
cause in the Java Library's implementation.  Basically,
InputStream.read(byte[] b) isn't guaranteed to read the full length of
b, and so a more correct version of the library would loop on reading
(as it does in several other situations).  I see one more instance of
this problem in the code.  I'll create a patch that fixes both, when I
have some time to do so.

Is the second message that you multicast sent by the same
thread/connection?  That exception should *only* be thrown during an
attempt to connect, so I feel like there must be some detail of the
scenario I'm missing.  Can you explain further?

Cheers,
Ryan
