I have 2 tomcat instances (t1, t2) each running in Eclipse (e1, e2).
I kick off tomcat in both. My app loads in both. I am using the JK
redirector from IIS to load balance between the 2 instances. I bring up a
browser and enter my URL (http://localhost/Acuity). I have a breakpoint in
the sessionListener of the app. It breaks there in t1, so I step through. At
the end of stepping through 'sessionCreated(event)', I run, and it
immediately gives me an exception in t2, and breaks in the session listener
breakpoint (same place) I set there
My Questions are:
1)When is sessionCreated called by Tomcat, i.e., exactly when does a session
get created and how?
2)I get an error at the end of t1.sessionCreated after it steps out of the
function. The error occurs somewhere after t1.sessionCreated and before
t2.sessionCreated. I THINK, it is a replication issue based on the exception
(see t2 exception below), however there may be code that is getting called
between exit of t1.sessionCreated and enter of t2.sessionCreated.
3) How do you debug issues like this???
