### map

    protected java.util.Map map

  A map of all the members in the cluster.

### members

  A list of all the members in the cluster.

### memberComparator

    protected org.apache.catalina.cluster.mcast.McastMembership.MemberComparator memberComparator

  sort members by alive time

Constructor Detail

### McastMembership

  Remove a member from this component.

  Parameters:
    `member` - The member to remove

### expire
