Dear users,
I am trying to setup tomcat clustering/session replication between two
tomcats of version 6.0.18. The following is the cluster snippet inserted
into server.xml of both servers:
<Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"
channelSendOptions="8">
<Manager
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.BackupManager"
expireSessionsOnShutdown="false"
notifyListenersOnReplication="true"
mapSendOptions="6"/>
<Channel
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel">
<Membership
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService"
address="228.0.0.4"
port="45564"
frequency="500"
dropTime="3000"/>
<Receiver
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.NioReceiver"
address="auto"
port="5000"
selectorTimeout="100"
maxThreads="6"/>
<Sender
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.ReplicationTransmitter">
<Transport
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender
" timeout="60000"/>
</Sender>
<Interceptor
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetec
tor"/>
<Interceptor
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.MessageDispatch
15Interceptor"/>
<Interceptor
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.ThroughputInter
ceptor"/>
</Channel>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.ReplicationValve"
filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;.*\.jpg;.*\.png;.*\.htm;.*\.html;.*\.css;.*\.txt;
"/>
<Deployer
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.deploy.FarmWarDeployer"
tempDir="/tmp/war-temp/"
deployDir="/tmp/war-deploy/"
watchDir="/tmp/war-listen/"
watchEnabled="false"/>
<ClusterListener
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.ClusterSessionListener"/>
</Cluster>
I am having the following errors on both of my tomcats:

Session replication is not working as expected for me. I am using the
apache webserver as SLB for the tomcats.
I have been debugging the above problems for a long time now but haven't
found the solution yet.
Any ideas of what might be the problem? I am suspecting that the tomcats
are not communicating well through the multicast address but I am not
sure.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Josef
