how distinguish backup from primary

I'm working with the example code from

http://wiki.gigaspaces.com/wiki/displ...

specifically, the section titled "Restart a running PU via the Admin API".

The code snippet is:

if( puInstances[i].getSpaceInstance().getMode() == SpaceMode.BACKUP ) {

 restartPUInstance(puInstances[i]);

}

Unfortunately, the "getMode()" method is returning neither SpaceMode.BACKUP

nor SpaceMode.PRIMARY.

How can I identify which PU instance is primary and which is backup?

Thank you.

Try this: before calling the pi.getSpaceInstance().getMode() have 5 seconds sleep.

or use this:

final String instStr = pi.waitForSpaceInstance(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .getMode() != SpaceMode.PRIMARY?"backup" : "primary";

I tried the "waitForSpaceInstance(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS)".

It didn't help. I get the same result.

What's the space schema you are using?

Sit in a loop and wait until the mode changes from NONE. A functioning space instance will either be PRIMARY or BACKUP (even when running non-partitioned). Not sure why it takes awhile.

I played around a little more. I added a hard 5-second sleep before the "getMode()" and that gives me the result I was expecting. (I think this was your first suggestion.).

This leads me to ponder, how would I know that 5 seconds is a sufficient time interval?

In any case, thank you for your help.

I was guessing :-)

For now have a loop that will repeat itself in case the getMode() does not return a value with a sleep before repeating the loop.
I will research this internally and get back to you.
