Hi all, Thanks for all your hard work last month on my session replication issue. I think I've found a solution today (via my SO post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18835014/tomcats-clustering-session-replication-not-replicating-properly/19391515#19391515). The problem appears to be solved by moving the <Manager> element out of the <Server><Service><Engine><Cluster> element in server.xml and putting it instead in the <Context> element of context.xml. So my context.xml now looks like this: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!-- The contents of this file will be loaded for each web application --> <Context useHttpOnly="true" sessionCookiePath="/" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" > <!-- Default set of monitored resources --> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <!-- Clustering / Session replication manager --> <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager" expireSessionsOnShutdown="false" notifyListenersOnReplication="true"/> </Context> And server.xml still has the <Cluster> element inside <Engine>, but <Cluster> no longer has a <Manager> element: <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> <Cluster channelSendOptions="8" className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"> <Channel className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel"> <Membership address="228.0.0.4" className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService" dropTime="3000" frequency="500" port="45564"/> <Receiver address="auto" autoBind="100" className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.NioReceiver" maxThreads="6" port="4000" selectorTimeout="5000"/> <Sender className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.ReplicationTransmitter"> <Transport className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender"/> </Sender> <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector"/> <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.MessageDispatch15Interceptor"/> </Channel> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.ReplicationValve" filter=""/> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"/> <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener"/> <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.ClusterSessionListener"/> </Cluster> <!-- etc... --> </Engine> I'll leave it up to you all to determine if the documentation needs to be updated, or if there's an underlying bug here somewhere, but hopefully this will help anyone with the same problem in the future. Thanks, Nick
