Hi ,
 I have faces similar problem with tomcat & websphere. Problem i have
descirbed in detail. Do inform if any solution is there for this problem.

I have tomcat 4.1.30 on Linux. It servers as a web server and contains only
JSP & Servlets. We make a remote call to Websphere Application Server ( on
AIX) using corbaloc like 'corbaloc::ip1:2809:ip2:2809'. Now when i one of my
App server fails, the other App Server server should take over. This work
when i use a simple java client on the Linux machine, the failover occurs.
But when i use my application in tomcat, this does not work.
Well we have log4j and debugging in our code.
We thought the singleton might be an issue. so we tried the following
without the singleton.

I am using a Service locator ( singleton) which makes the initial call to
App Server and stores in the ip cache. initially we that the issue was with
the Service locator, but then even if i don't use this Service Locator, the
problem persists.

we made a single servlet call without the singleton.We make a remote call to
Websphere Application Server ( on AIX) using corbaloc like
'corbaloc::ip1:2809:ip2:2809'. Now when i one of my App server fails, the
other App Server server should take over.
But stil the take over was not done.

We have talked to IBM and they say that the tomcat does some caching and the
problem is not with the App Server. Has anyone faced this issue? Can anyone
help regarding this and how can i know how and where the caching is done?
Can this issue be resolved.



We have alsofound the following information:
the tomcat websphere connection is done via the following ports:
bootstrap port ( which is 2809 for us) and ORB listner port ( 41999 for our
application)

The tomcat opens socket to connect to the bootstrap port (2809) first and
then ORB listner port (41999) later when the first call is made. Now when
the subsequent calls are made connection is made via the ORB listner port
only.
When one of the App Server fails... it still tries to connect to bootstrap
port (2809) of first app server. ideally it shoulde try to connect to the
new app server bootstrap port.

Can anyone help me reg this problem. If any other information is required, i
will be glad to provide with the same.
