Hi, After some digging through and still not able to get it work, I thought of posting it here... Here's what I am trying to accomplish:
* Have Apache as a Loadbalancer for 2 Tomcat 6 instances - All running on the same Linux box * Implement the session persistence using Tomcat6 so that live sessions could be handled by other Tomcat nodes, if one of them crashes in between. What I am able to accomplish till now: * Setup the load balanced servers so that *new* sessions are handled by whichever server is active/lightly loaded. Where I am stuck: * Not able to have session persistent cluster. * This scenario is not working: - Tomcat1 and Tomcat2 are up. - A new request comes in and Tomcat1 serves it. - Tomcat1 crashes and the session is lost (Instead I want it to be served by Tomcat2 as if nothing happened). I went through the steps mentioned here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cluster-howto.html (which is exactly what I am trying to achieve). But when I kill the active server, the session is lost.. In index.jsp, I am extending the Session so that it can be serialized... And, I am creating an instance so that I can use a serializable session for session-persistence. class PersistentSession implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, java.io.Serializable { private javax.servlet.http.HttpSession httpSession; protected PersistentSession() { httpSession = null; } // All necessary methods overridden ... } // Check "perSession" served from both tomcat instances... PersistentSession perSession = new PersistentSession(request.getSession()); Here's the server.xml files from both the tomcat instances... Can anyone tell me what am I missing in order to run persistent sessions? server.xml from Tomcat1: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Server port="11005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> <Listener
