Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-4289:
------------------------------------------
Jacques, about your comment:
{quote}instanceof Serializable: I did not consider it. Maybe it's better to let
developper catch them and decide about it. In OFBiz we are not used to
serialise all classes...{quote}
I was not suggesting to add Serializable to OFBiz classes; I was saying that,
if the issue you are facing in distributable app mode is that the session
contains non serializable objects (e.g. "security" etc..) then, instead of
hardcoding the code in LoginWorker to null them, it would be more elegant
(impossible) to hook before the session is serialized and iterate thru the
objects in the session and null the ones that don't implement Serializable. In
this way, if the system is running a serializable Security implementation, then
it will be stored in the session even if in distributable mode.
The code would be also cleaner (no need to add variables and special handling
in LoginWorker)

> It works locally but not on clusters. You simply get a NPE.
> h3. Problem
> * When we logout we cross an issue due to Tomcat sessions persistence.
> * Because we set distributable to true, to allow sessions failover,
> * and use and DeltaManager for replication.
> * Delegator and other main Classes (notably Dispatcher) are not
> serialized in OFBiz. This is the origin of the problem
> h3. Tried solutions
> By default DeltaManager save active sessions on disk. It uses a private
> String variable pathname for that (default to "SESSIONS.ser"). You can set it
> to null, to avoid session persistence, using a context.xml file in the
> WEB-INF folder with content like below. But I tried it in webtools app on
> staging qs001 (only) and it did not work (with distributable set to false).
> And we have no other means to set it from OFBiz (OOTB).
