ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi, We have 2 instances of Tomcat running with Apache sitting in front balancing between the Tomcat instances. I have session replication setup which seems to work for basic bookmarkable links on the pages. I can stop one of the instances and I'm not logged in as it failover to the other instance. However for normal Link and ajax links etc I get ComponentNotFoundException thrown as the new instance cannot find it in the session it seems. Clearly I'm not understanding how wicket manages the page state or I've configured something wrong. Does wicket support full session failover ? Many thanks
Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi, "I can stop one of the instances and I'm not logged in" This statement says that you don't really have a properly configured failover. If those two Tomcat instances are in a cluster then the http sessions should be replicated and you should stay logged in no matter which one is serving the request. Wicket will store the used stateful page at the disks for all Tomcats in the cluster, if it the replication is actually working!

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi Martin, that was a typo on my part. I've been doing a lot more testing before I replied to make sure things are as I say. This is what I am observing: - I have a 2 node tomcat cluster setup with apache balancing between them locally on my machine. - Testing with a very simple Wicket app I can see the replication is working fine when shutting down either instance. - Testing with our very heavy weight wicket app it sometimes work and sometimes does not. Now the last point above I have narrowed down to our homepage. If I am not on the homepage the replication seems to work ok. However if I am on the homepage I always get a ComponentNotFoundException when failing over to the other instance. The homepage has an AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior which is called once the page is rendered, this in turn adds to the the page a DataView containing a lot of content and links. The user needs to be logged in before they see the homepage, so the session is already setup. I don't know what it is about this page that breaks the replication. Is there anything around the ajax part that could do this? Any pointers would be most welcome as it will be a long long task to break that page down and do rounds and rounds of cluster testing many thanks On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 12:34 PM, Martin Grigorov wrote: > Hi, > > "I can stop one of the instances and I'm not logged in" > This statement says that you don't really have a properly configured > failover. > If those two Tomcat instances are in a cluster then the http sessions > should be replicated and you should stay logged in no matter which one is > serving the request. > Wicket will store the used stateful page at the disks for all Tomcats in > the cluster, if it the replication is actually working! > > > On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 1:02 PM, Wayne W > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > We have 2 instances of Tomcat running with Apache sitting in front > > balancing between the Tomcat instances.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
So it seems the homepage is not the only page. However removing the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior makes no difference I still get the same issues. Just don;t know where to start with this one. Is there a way I can turn on the logging around replication in wicket?

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
If I put the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior back in, it always fails. If I remove the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior most of the time it works, but every now and then it fails to replicate. Its really inconsistent. I have no idea how to get to the bottom of this. Any pointers or help is much appreciated.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi, Once the http session is replicated this method should be executed on the node that did not process the request org.apache.wicket.page.PageStoreManager.SessionEntry#readObject(). Here Wicket will either store the page(s) on the disk or will schedule them for storing. There is no much usage of Loggers here so you will have to attach a debugger and see what happens.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Thanks Martin, I have a theory what this is, perhaps you could confirm? What I observe is the following with the replication: If I visit page A and then visit page B, then kill the instance I am on the session is successfully failed over to the other node. Now I'm still looking at page B in the browser - if I hit back on the browser I get PageExpiredException. Is this the expected behaviour? If it IS the expected behaviour, then the reason I think that I have an issue with the page with the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior is because the code in the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehaviour.respond is adding components to the page which in turn marks the Session dirty which in turn replicates the session. If only the last page/session commit is only replicated it could explain why I get a ComponentNotFound exception from the page as it overwriten by the update from the AbstractDefaultAjaxBehavior What do you think?

In addition: Updates made in an Ajax requests do not add a new entry in the history (storages) but overrides the previous entry for that page instance! I.e. when PageA is rendered Wicket will assign a pageId for it, e.g. 5, and store it in the disk. Later when you make a change to PageA:5 in Ajax request then Wicket will override the entry on the disk. If you make a change in non-Ajax request then Wicket will assign a new pageId, e.g. 6, and add a new entry in the history (disk), so you will have two entries for this session.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hello Martin, so I've been trying to still get to the bottom of this days later. So my understanding is getting better and it appears that the session itself is replicated fine. However I've tracked my issue down to the following: - If I have a page that has 2 links at the top. Link A is a Bookmarkable link back to the same page - it is also mounted thus: mountPage( "/cube/documents/${0}", CubeDocumentPage.class); It has a Long page param needed to construct the page ( i.e. /cube/documents/12345 ). The second link B is just a simple new Link("B") . - If both instances are up and running , lets say I am on instance A. I visit link A 3 times. I then kill instance A and I am balanced over to instance B. If I visit link B , the PageStoreManager cannot find the page that contains link B in the store and then tries to create a new instance of the page - the problem is then for some reason the page parameters are always null and the Long is never passed. Why is the page parameter always null here? Trying to debug it, is seems the IPageManager is got from the wicket Application instance and not the Session, and this IPageManager looks for a RequestAdaptor. Somewhere the page parameters are lost?. However I can get it to work this way: - start instance A, visit the page and say click link A 3 times. - Now start up instance B - Kill instance A - Click on the link B and this time the PageStoreManager finds the page and there the link B and everything works fine. It only works if I don't visit another page just after instance B starts up. I will do some more debugging tomorrow to try and understand this PageStoreManager/request adaptor bit more. But if you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi, Did you mention already which version of Wicket you use ? There was an improvement related to reusing the page parameters when constructing a new page instance in 7.0.0. I have the feeling you are using 6.x. Am I correct ?

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi Martin, yes we are on 6. I've just spent the day upgrading to 7 and got it running ok. I've been debugging and I'm confused to one aspect: The PageManager is stored in the Application. The page manger has the RequestAdaptor/PageStoreManager stored within that holds the pages and components. I observe that when a new instance joins the cluster this pagestoremanager SessionEntry is serialized across to the new instance. However further requests do NOT serialise the session entry across. If the original node is then shutdown, on the new instance the page (from the further requests) cannot be found in the pagestoremanager (its bookmarkable page) and a new instance must be constructed instead. This is where I get the problem as it can't find the component on the new instance (I'm still debugging why this is the case). However my question is whats the point of serialising across the SessionEntry if its not done on each session commit? Its only of use if the node is stop straight after the new instance is started. thanks On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 9:39 PM, Martin Grigorov wrote: > Hi, > > Did you mention already which version of Wicket you use ? > There was an improvement related to reusing the page parameters when > constructing a new page instance in 7.0.0. > I have the feeling you are using 6.x.

The SessionEntry is stored as an attribute in the HTTP Session. The web container has logic to detect if the HTTP session has been updated in a request and if it was then it replicates the whole session to the other nodes. Once the session is replicated it is deserialized. Here SessionEntry#readObject() comes to play. It reads the pages from the SessionEntry and stores them into the disk (via IDiskStore). So the stateful pages should be available in the disks of all nodes.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Please ignore my last email I have done a lot more debugging and I *think* I understand why replication does not work for us: Whenever a stateful pages is used (touched) the SessionEntry is updated, > i.e. the page is put into it. > The SessionEntry is stored as an attribute in the HTTP Session. > The web container has logic to detect if the HTTP session has been updated > in a request and if it was then it replicates the whole session to the > other nodes. > Once the session is replicated it is deserialized.

I think this is a little wrong. Yes the SessionEntry in stored as an attribute in the http session and is replicated. However the pages in the SessionEntry cache are not replicated as they are transient. private transient List sessionCache; private transient List afterReadObject Therefore the pages are *not* deserialised as you say. The only time SessionEntry#readObject() comes to play (at least with Tomcat) is when a node is first brought up and the daltamanager replicates ALL sessions across, at this point all the current SessionEntry's in the other nodes http sessions are written across. After this is done SessionEntry#readObject() is not called anymore. Any new pages/updates on the original instance are not replicated across (only the sessionId in the SessionEntry). This means any new pages created on the old instance (after the new instance has started up) are not available in the http session or the second level page store on the new instance. Therefore when the old instance in shut down the user is load balanced to the new instance. At this point the link in the page Wicket is looking for does not exist in the SessionEntry cache or the PageStore so it creates the page and looks for the component/link. This causes a ComponentNotFoundException for us because the links are either in a DataView which is never rendered so does not exist, or the other links are actually added to the page in an Ajax request and again because the page is not rendered are not there, Wicket then throws the exception and it appears to the user the session is lost. This is at least what I am observing. I can provide a Quick start to demonstrate if needed. many thanks for you time thus far.

Re: ComponentNotFoundException and Clustering failover
Hi Martin, Ok I've opened a ticket. I did some more debugging and I've described it to the best of my understanding. I could try and make a patch but its complex code and I don't want to mess anything up!! - not very confident with Wicket. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6356 thanks On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 8:19 AM, Martin Grigorov wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 11:21 PM, Wayne W > wrote: > > > Please ignore my last email I have done a lot more debugging and I > *think* > > I understand why replication does not work for us: > > > > > > Whenever a stateful pages is used (touched) the SessionEntry is updated, > > > i.e. the page is put into it. > > > The SessionEntry is stored as an attribute in the HTTP Session. > > > The web container has logic to detect if the HTTP session has been > > updated > > > in a request and if it was then it replicates the whole session to the > > > other nodes. > > > Once the session is replicated it is deserialized.
