Is it possible to programatically reset a node's jppf.server.host value?  (I noticed that this is not supported by JMXNodeConnectionWrapper, but was wondering if I could modify it to support this operation.) Does changing a communication setting require restarting the node?

Why would I want to do this?  I'm interested in using Amazon Ec2 instances as jppf nodes (with the jppf driver on one of my local systems).  To do this in a flexible way, I need to set the node's driver after the Ec2 instance is created.  Using a jppf config file means that the nodes are locked into one driver.  Ec2 does not support multicast, so using jppf's auto-discovery is not an option.

thanks

Hello,

I apologize for the late response.
You can change any configuration value by using the API JPPFConfiguration.getProperties().setProperty("my_prop", "my_value")
The problem, as you mentioned, is how to do that remotely. I believe adding this capability to the management features in JPPF is a good idea.
I have created a feature request for this: 2661175 - Ability to change node or driver configuration remotely
It is also true that changing the connection properties would require a reconnection of the node, but not a restart, otherwise the node would reuse the static properties in the configuration file.

Thanks for your input,

How does one reconnect a node? (I found NodeRunner.ShutdownOrRestart..restart but haven't located a reconnect method).

Adding remote control of configuration properties would be nice (I have a few less than ideal ideas for getting around this limitation for now).

thanks for your help
