That is useful to know ... is the Valve in a state that it can be shared? Did you base any of the interaction with the manager/store on the SimpleTcpReplicationManager?
I guess the dilemma for us is the org.apache.catalina.ha.session.SimpleTcpReplicationManager seems to have the functionality we require (ie from Tomcat 5.0) and there isn't anything much more we need above that. Just not sure if users are advised against using it for session replication. If so then I guess writing your own does sound like the only alternative but that does seem unusual when tomcat used to have replication "ignoring deltas" before and other app servers (I can actually only speak of websphere) seem to let you do this. Would the rationale be that you should only put immutable objects in the session and tomcat is trying to direct users to best practice? -- Kevin Jansz kevin.ja...@exari.com Level 7, 10-16 Queen Street, Melbourne 3000 Australia Tel +61 3 9621 2773 | Fax +61 3 9621 2776 Exari Systems Boston | London | Melbourne | Munich www.exari.com Test drive our software online - www.exari.com/demo-trial.html Read our blog on document assembly - blog.exari.com On 28 April 2010 22:59, Jon Brisbin <jon.bris...@npcinternational.com> wrote: > > I don't know if this really answers your question or not, but I have written > a custom Valve that calls my own replicateSession method.
