Hi,
I'm observing some strange behaviour between two instances of
apache-tomcat-7.0.41 running on the same server. Sessions are shared between
the servers on multiple logins/logouts on the same browser , but when i switch
browsers , the session sharing stops .
I have posted a question on stack overflow where you can find more details on what
I have tried & my observations :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33546555/tomcat-simple-tcp-cluster-doesnt-work-on-switching-browser
Any help would be appreciated.
Off the top of my head, I would say
- a "session" saved on the server, is identified by a "session-id" (some kind of large
alphanumeric string, unique)
- to allow a browser to re-connect to the same session during several interactions, this
session-id is initially sent to the browser, contained in a cookie
- whenever the browser interacts with the same server/cluster, it resends this cookie, and
this is what allows the server to re-connect this browser to the saved session
- of course, if you switch browsers, the new browser does not have that cookie. So it does
not send it to the server/cluster, and it gets a new session, with a different session-id.
Or did I misunderstand your explanation of what happens ?
