Hi,
I'm new to the group and have a similar problem. Much of our Session Tracking
was done through hidden parameters and DB lookups which is obviously a very
inefficient way of session tracking.
We have discovered that sessions are tied to a single server, but we think you
can configure JServ to enable session tracking accross multiple VMs. It sounds
as though once a session is established each subsequent request from the user is
directed to the server which stores their session. But you do have to configure
the servers properly.
I'd recommend reading the following:
http://java.apache.org/jserv/howto.load-balancing.html#Session
It doesn't give too much information but if anyone knows of other examples etc.
I'd appreciate it too.
Cheers,
Simon
