Thanks for the information, I believe that the documentation states that lift has its own session system and that it does not use the servers session ... if this is true and you are running two redundant servers, will the servers session replication / clustering copy the Lift session? State/session replication in a large cluster can cause problems, but for our situation I don't see server state as being a problem as long as it is minimal and replicates in clusters. I went to the Colorado Software Summit last year and went to a couple of presentations by Yan Pujante and was very impressed by what they are doing at linked-in. He presented a couple of sessions one on OSGi and the issues they are solving or hoping to solve with it as well as the obstacles they have encountered. Also, he did a presentation on their new security / authentication system which was very interesting. One thing he mentioned was that they were moving to a stateless environment, where the only state that is maintained is that of the authenticated user object. Working for a school district I can say that Linked-in's world is ... well different ... they have over 400 developers we have 2 ... they have I believe he said 600 web servers ... we have two. Server state for us ... not really a problem and I'd be happy if my development is easier, quicker and I can better meet the needs of our users in a timely fashion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
