Hi all, I am using Tomcat 5.5 as both Web Server and Web Container. I have 4 tomcat instances A,B,C,D - 2 each on 2 Web Server boxes. There's a hardware load balancer sitting before these that routes to each of the 4 IP/ports.
I haven't used method described in the TOmcat 5.5 docs on the tomcat.apache.org site. That is , on the server.xml file I haven't made any changes to Cluster/Manager element. However, in the context.xml file I have added the Manager element and used JDBC store to store the session data. I also have <distributable/> in the web.xml It works perfectly as far as storing the session in the db and retaining it. Until in the application, I do a step where a file has to be browsed and attached from the PC. If I browse, but do not attach, it works fine. But once I attach the file, the session entry is REMOVED from the database, and the application gets a session-timeout error. It happens consistently. I am monitoring the size of the session in the db, (it's a blob) and it doesn't exceed 1kb of data, so I don't think it's due to the size. Please help. I am out of ideas. thanks in advance CM --------------------------------- Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Yahoo! Answers - Check it out.
