Hi,

I have the (J2EE Blueprint) PetStore application clustered on two Orion 
instances running on the same machine.

When I connect through the LoadBalancer, I can see my session state get 
replicated across the two nodes. When I kill the primary node, the load 
balancer automatically connects me to the secondary node and takes me 
through the rest of the shopping cart experience, however any items I had in 
my cart (ie. Session state!) aren't there anymore.

I know that for clustering to work, objects should be Serializable AND 
placed in the session/servlet context for it to be replicated.  So my *real* 
questions are:

1) I haven't dived into the PetStore code - but is this a design issue with 
the PetStore or do I need some configuration pointers?

2) Has ANYBODY got PetStore working properly in a Clustered environment 
where you can kill the primary server and continue shopping (with your 
existing cart) on the secondary node?

My Environment:Win2K, JDK 1.3, PetStore 1.1.2, Orion 1.4.5

NB: The SessionServlet example works FINE for me.  When the primary goes 
down, the secondary node picks up with the same counter number as before the 
failure.
