Yeah, let's fix this, but let's not require the toString() of an object
to never change. Let's add another method that returns a Bean
identifier and is documented to never change.

Sorry about the confusion. I meant that the change of membership port
results in DistributedMember returning a different string from its
getName() method.
We discovered this because the JMX layer has some error handling that
results in suppressing this failure, so the failure was being hidden. We
cleaned up the error handling and saw quite a few failures in precheckin
caused by this. I figured it was more correct to fix the underlying problem
rather than restore the suppression of this bug.

Actually the formatting code would go in InternalDistributedMember. The
JMX code already has a special method for handling that class. I was
thrown off by the reference to a non-existant getName() method in
LonerDistributionManager.

I think we could solve this by either moving the ID formatting code to
the DistributionManager implementations & having
LonerDistributionManager omit the port number or modify the
client/server handshake to not install a port number when connecting
to a remote GatewayReceiver. I guess the latter wouldn't work if the
bean is in a real client cache.
The installation of a port number was implemented to prevent duplicate
membership IDs in client caches when clients are being spun up in
parallel on the same machine. However there is also a "unique ID" in
LonerDistributionManager that was supposed to address this problem but
apparently didn't.

So I was stepping through some WAN tests in IJ debugger (on develop
with no
changes) and discovered that any MXBeans that are created before
starting a
server port (either using CacheServer or GatewayReceiver) are broken and
fail to be updated after that -- the ObjectNames include the
DistributedMember.getName(). Turns out some JMX code is eating an NPE
that's caused because the LonerDistributionManager changes its
membership
port when an acceptor endpoint is started up.
Below is the method in LonerDistributionManager (with some other
issues as
well) that does this updating. We either need to make a lot of
changes to
the JMX code to fix this or we need to make one small change to
LonerDistributionManager (ie, to delete this method). Question: do we
really need the DistributedMember of a Loner to change its getName()
which
includes the membership port that changed?
/**
* update the loner port with an integer that may be more unique
than the
default port (zero).
* This updates the ID in place and establishes new default
settings for
the manufacture of new
* IDs.
*
* @param newPort the new port to use
*/
public void updateLonerPort(int newPort) {
this.logger.config(
String.format("Updating membership port. Port changed from
%s to
%s. ID is now %s",
new Object[] {this.lonerPort, newPort, getId()}));
this.lonerPort = newPort;
*this.getId().setPort(this.lonerPort);*
}
