Re: Share info across different sessions servers
Hi!
what about treating this problem as a chat system? You want to broadcast
messages, right? Maybe http://cometd.org/
is of any help (did not use it now personally)

Hi Jose,
a couple of things,
1) I use embedded Tomcat to build my application and this has allowed me to
maintain 2 single-line patches in tribes classes by adding tribes source
code to my compilations. However those patches are only necessary with
large messages that take more than 3 seconds to be transmitted from the
transmitting machine to the Internet Service Provider machine (approx 0.5
meg for my system). There is a config setting (Sender/Transport/timeout)
that's supposed to alter this 3 second timeout limit but I'm not sure it
works.
2) The implementation is not at all trivial. You have to register
StaticMember objects because usual member discovery does not work over
wide-area network (WAN). I allocate one machine as SuperServer and all
other machines have to enroll with SuperServer at startup. All machines
need to have a unique combination of Ipv4 address and port number (which
might represent a redirection port for use by the router whereupon
networked machines also need LAN addresses set). Once registration is
complete, all sub-Server machines can send/receive SuperServer and vice
versa.
There is a tutorial on-line which is adequate but not for WAN. I think you
have at least two weeks of work in front of you using tribes but I am very
happy I used this method.
None of my code would add much (except confusion) to that in the tutorial.
Make sure you start without multicast enabled as it currently is suitable
only for LAN.
///Class Constructor
public ServerMessaging() throws SocketException{
this.myChannel=new GroupChannel();
ChannelListener msgListener = new ServerMessaging.MyMessageListener();
MembershipListener mbrListener = new ServerMessaging.MyMemberListener();
myChannel.addMembershipListener(mbrListener);
myChannel.addChannelListener(msgListener);
try{
myChannel.start(Channel.MBR_TX_SEQ|Channel.MBR_RX_SEQ|Channel.SND_TX_SEQ|Channel.SND_RX_SEQ);//no
multicast
}
catch(ChannelException e){
U.log(e);
}
}
public void detectOrderNumber_EnrollWithSuperServer() throws
ChannelException{
setMyServerOrderStatus(); // machine reads its mac address or some file;
then from a table will set serverOrderNumber to 0 for superserver ; others
1,2,3...
if(this.getServerOrderNumber()==0){ meaning this is the superserver
someObject.doSomeThingMaybe();
}
else{
this.sendAckRequiredMessage(0,Enrollment); /// first argument specifies
SuperServer, member 0 (a table will need to be provided to hold IPv4
address and port for each member)

Re: Share info across different sessions servers
Hi! What kind of data do you want to share? Just a view bytes? Is there an requirement concerning durability/persistence/performance? Is this user=session related or do you want to share data in general? Usually if you have a session id the lb will route your user always to the same container? What about session replication, a database, terracotta?

Hi Don! You can try to move only common libs shared by all yor different webapps to the shared classloader but leave the application core in seperate war files?

Re: Best practices for shared classloader use?
Hi Don! Usually each Webapp has its own classloader thus two webapps can have different versions of the same class. Classloaders are chained so if a class is not found search continues in the next classloader. Shared just means one classloader is used by different webapps thus you may run into trouble if each webapp requires a different class version (changed method signature) as you can not predict which version you get. As long you can align the shared libs across all webapps this is not an issue. I do not see your static field problem, though? Share functionality like using the same jars? If all use the same version you can push it to the shared imho. Jens Sent from my iPhone On 04.06.2013, at 18:03, Don Asper don.as...@sas.com wrote: Sorry, I was not clear in my first post.

Re: Ideal way to minimize resources used by Tomcat for sessions
Why do you need a Webserver at all? What about plain Java Sockets instead? Jens Von meinem iPad gesendet Am 19.11.2012 um 03:34 schrieb Baron Von Awsm baronvona...@gmail.com: My web app consists of a single servlet, no JSPs and no static content. The servlet retrieves XML from POST submissions and hands the XML and IP address of the client to an API/engine. This engine can work outside of a web container and has no knowledge of a web container. It has its own mechanism for managing sessions. For this reason, for this web application, I require no session management overhead by Tomcat. I would like to disable all aspects (that I can) of Tomcat session management, including session cookies and/or url rewriting. Searches on the topic yielded the following suggestions, 1. Never call getSession(). That makes sense - if its never called then things are never stored in the session and, perhaps, Tomcat doesn't create some things that it might have. But I have some question marks over this suggestion. Does Tomcat still utilise resources simply by having the standard session manager in place? Does tomcat still set cookies and/or rewrite URLs? If I never call getSession() will this lead to as little resources being used when compared to a solution that replaces the standard manager with a 'do nothing' manager implementation? 2. Set the 'cookies' attribute of the context to false. To me, I would not think this addresses my issue at all. 3. Write a Manager implementation that does the bare minimum. This would seem like the best solution to me, although, the most time consuming. My question - Given that I do not require the use of http sessions in Tomcat, what would be the best way for me to minimise the resources Tomcat devotes to session management? I would prefer if the solution disabled session cookie writing and/or url rewriting, as neither serves a purpose as there are no sessions to track (from my application's perspective).
