Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-4289:
------------------------------------------

Jacques, am I wrong orin this last patch the meaning of the 
distributableApplication field is completely inverted?

I also still see the pattern:
{code}if (!variable) {//false} else {//true}{code}
rather than the easier to read:

{code}if (variable) {//true} else {//false}{code}

Also, but this is a minor note, when I suggested to group together all the code 
related to distributable apple I was thinking to refactor the code in this way:
{code}
            Security security = null;
            try {
                security = SecurityFactory.getInstance(delegator);
                session.setAttribute("security", security);
            } catch (SecurityConfigurationException e) {
                Debug.logError(e, module);
            }
            Authorization authz = null;
            try {
                authz = AuthorizationFactory.getInstance(delegator);
                session.setAttribute("authz", authz);
            } catch (SecurityConfigurationException e) {
                Debug.logError(e, module);
            }
            // set all request attributes here:
            request.setAttribute("dispatcher", dispatcher);
            request.setAttribute("delegator", delegator);
            request.setAttribute("security", security);
            request.setAttribute("authz", authz);
            // set all session attributes here:
            if (distributableApplication) {
                // these attributes are nulled here because they are not 
serializable and then recreated when the session is deserialized
                session.setAttribute("dispatcher", null);
                session.setAttribute("delegator", null);
                session.setAttribute("security", null);
                session.setAttribute("authz", null);
            } else {
                session.setAttribute("dispatcher", dispatcher);
                session.setAttribute("delegator", delegator);
                session.setAttribute("security", security);
                session.setAttribute("authz", authz);
            }
{code}

But yeah, all these code may be ignored if you find a mechanism to remove/add 
before/after serialization/deserialization these objects: this would be the 
right way to fix the issue.

> 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).
> {code}
>     <Context>
>      <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.DeltatManager"
