Here is how it is meant to work :
the <distributable/> tag in WEB-INF/web.xml selects whether or not a webapp is distributable. adding the tag will cause Jetty to use a DistributableSessionManager. This Manager will default to using an InterceptorStack and DistributableStore that is specified in jbossweb.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml - along with other parameters. This setting will be used for EVERY webapp. In order to select a different implementation on a per-webapp basis, you may override the jboss-service.xml settings in WEB-INF/jetty-web.xml, so that each webapp can select an implementation tailored to itself, or even deployed with it. If you have removed the <distributable/> tag from your web.xml, but included a jetty-web.xml in your webapp and distributable support is being used, then you have probably uncommented the line : <Set name="DistributableHttpSession">true</Set> This will force the <distributable/> flag, regardless of the setting in web.xml. This is really intended for debugging or running a non-distributable app in distributable mode for one reason or another. In conclusion, If you want to keep things simple - the Jetty impl works exactly the same way as Catalina's - you simply set the <distributable/> tag. If you want to configure exactly what setting this flag enables, then you start playing with your jboss-service.xml or jetty-web.xml. Is that clear ?
