Reading the orion docs for http clustering,
step 3 left me with strange feeling.
-----
Step 3: Configure your cluster
islands
Cluster islands are connected to a certain
site rather than to a web application and to configure a cluster island, edit
the web-site.xml file for the website your web-application is deployed on (for
example default-web-site.xml file if you are clustering the default
web-application)...
-----
Currently all the applications we are
testing are defined as sub applications of the default-web-site.
ie:
----
<web-site host="ivan" port="8080"
cluster-island="1" display-name="Default Orion
WebSite">
<default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" /> <frontend host="ivan" port="80" /> <web-app application="eservices" name="eservices-web" root="/eservices" /> <web-app application="sessions" name="sessions-web" root="/sessions" /> ---- The line that got me thinking was "cluster islands are connected to a certain site rather
than to a web application". Could this be why our web applications
are not sharing sessions when in their own directory, yet the same apps
*do* share sessions when in the default-web-app
directory??
