weird behaviour using ConnectFuture

[chihiro <ga...@gmail.com>]

I have a connect() method that looks like this:

    private void connect()
    {
        try 
        {
            ConnectFuture future = m_connector.connect( new
InetSocketAddress( m_address, m_port ), m_handler, m_config );
            boolean operationFinished = future.join( CONNECT_FUTURE_TIMEOUT
);
            if( !operationFinished )
                throw new RuntimeIOException( "timeout waiting for connect
to complete" );

            future.getSession();
            debug( "after future.getSession" );
            m_connectFuture = future;

        } catch( RuntimeIOException e ) 
        {
            long count = 0L;
            if( (count = m_logCounter.getAndIncrement()) % 5000 == 0 )
                debug( " (" + count + ") failed to connect to " + m_address
+ ":" + m_port );
        }
    }

My test scenario:

Start the server listening on a port number p.
Start the client (which connects to p)
   Before the client sends data to the server, stop the server. (do a
netstat -t to verify that the port is gone)

When the client detects that it is not connected; it will attempt to call
connect() repeatedly
until it succeeds. We'd expect future.getSession() to fail (correct me if
I'm wrong).
And for a while, this holds true. But after about 30-40 seconds, the call
future.getSession() magically
succeeds. And ConnectFuture.isConnected() returns true!
IoSession.isConnected() is also true.

The client would write a newline delimited line of text & the handler's
messageReceived() receives the message.
It's like I'm connected to an echo service. 

Has anyone experienced this before ?

Thanks,

chihiro

I solved my problem my adding a slight delay before calling
m_connector.connect( .. ). 
It's working as expected now (fingers crossed).
