Did anybody have any luck with getting "-Djava.rmi.dgc.leaseValue" to work to change the default value ?. Please let me know, -Rajesh

hi Ragesh i have spent some time on the same problem and found the results to be very unpredictable. i generally end up with just the default results i think no matter how i set leaseValue. Was using it primarly for testing so i do not think i will use it in the final product. If you find something useful on it mention it on this board as i am interested. tom

Tom- Same experience here too. I just could not get it to work. -Rajesh
What was leaseValue for? Is it necessary for the assignment? I don't remember seeing that one, maybe that is a cool one. Tell us some more about it Mark
Thank you so much Ren�. Mark- This is the value used by the RMI to sense a unreferenced object in cases like client crash etc. Since I have implemented unreferenced interface, I needed to test the working of it and right now, it takes almost 15 minute to notice it working after I hard-kill the client. I just wanted to test more by temporarily reducing this wait time. Hope this makes sense. Thanks, -Rajesh
Rajesh, cool. I knew I had seen it before, and thought that might be what it was for. I wanted to do that too, but I didn't, I waited those long 15 minutes So did Rene's solution do the trick? Mark

hi all Still not clear on how to change leaseValue. Do i still use rmi.dgc.leaseValue=newValue on the command line. How do i employ sun.rmi.dgc.checkInterval()if I want to change my leaseValue? tom

Tom- Use java -D option as illustrated below. java -Djava.rmi.dgc.leaseValue=30000 -Djava.rmi.dgc.leaseValue=15000 MAINCLASS

the requirements seem to be strict about the configuration parameters that can be used in the command lines to start the server / client. have people have set the rmi.unreferenced lease value within the main method for their data server - using something like... // Get system properties Properties props = System.getProperties();
// Specify lease value props.put("java.rmi.dgc.leaseValue", 15000); [ May 26, 2002: Message edited by: dean tomlinson ]

I thought of checking for crashed clients, but decided not to. Are any of you incorporating this into your final product? If so, what kind of lease times are you using?
Yes, you should check for crashed clients using Unreferenced. I used the default lease time. Mark

By default, I am doing this because I am checking for clients that are finished with remote objects using Unreferenced. The only difference is that when clients finish gracefully Unreferenced.unreferenced() gets called very quickly, but with a crashed client it takes a while according ot the lease time and check interval. For this to be usefull for crashed clients the lease time and check interval need to be shortened, I would think, to a matter of seconds. Otherwise a crashed client could hold a lock for a matter of minutes, which in this application, might as ell be forever because a user isn't going sit around and wait to book a flight that is locked for so long. But if you reduce the lease and check interval too low, you will tie up the network with lease renewalls. What is everyone setting their lease time and check interval too? Since there is nothing in the requirements about crashed clients do we really need to worry about it? Mark, you and I discussed this in another post and you thought not. -BJ

I don't think your configuration parameter option is one of the listed ones in the requirement. You will lose marks if you use it.

I guess you can do that. I didn't restrict the leastime instead I had a cleanup thread to remove the unused locks.

hi guys, do we need to specify the check interval aswell as the lease value, if we are happy using the default check interval of half the lease value.
