Hello,

mybay I am just wrong, but the method to connect to a JPPF server for management using JMX does not act like I would expect it.

The javadoc says this:

/**
 * Initiate the connection and wait until the connection is established or the timeout has expired, whichever comes first.
 * @param timeout the maximum time to wait for, a value of zero means no timeout and
 * this method just waits until the connection is established.
 */

If I call the method with a timeout of 10 seconds but the connection is established after 2 seconds, I would expect that the method will return after 2 seconds. Instead the method first checks if the connection is already established. If not, the whole timeout (minus the few milliseconds for the connect()) is taken the value for the sleep. In our example above, the method waits the whole timeout of 10 seconds.

See the code here (taken from 4.2.7):

public void connectAndWait(final long timeout) {
  if (isConnected()) return;
  long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
  long max = timeout > 0 ? timeout : Long.MAX_VALUE;
  connect();
  long elapsed;
  while (!isConnected() && ((elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start) < max)) goToSleep(max - elapsed);
}

What is the intended behaviour of the method? Am I wrong?
