RE: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions

Renzo, Felix,

If your front-end web server/load balancer (also known as Local Director or
Resonate, etc) is implemented to use IP stickiness, then this is a
non-issue since the Web user will be returned to the server which serviced
the original request.

Hi

As long as you carry over all properties to the next request using form
elements (text, hidden, ...), you will only miss the LOCALE session
variable. But you set that by subclassing ActionServlet.

Actually when you stay away from wizard-like/multipage forms, you'll be
fine.

Subject: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions


Hi

We have to build & deploy some web applications with
JSP/Servlets on an LVS cluster.  At the moment,
though, I don't think we can guarantee session
affinity (i.e. subsequent requests will end up on
different machines), and it seems that Struts uses
sessions quite heavily.

Am I right in thinking that sessions are a
pre-requisite of using the Struts framework?  Is there
any part of Struts I could still use without sessions
(e.g. some of the taglibs maybe)?

Thanks

Felix.
