I would like to keep session state soley in cookies so I can use round robin HTTP load balancing versus sticky load balancing(sticky load balancing as in all requests are directed at a specific web server for a given user.
I read Professional JSP, perused this mailing list and looked on the web and nothing really elaborates on where the state is stored by default. I see how the <html:link> </html:link> directive is translated into <a href=http://...;jsessionid=X></a> but where does it get X and where does it store the session information related to X? Does it rely on the jsession ID being passed around in URLs then keep the associated session information cached on the server? So if you have multiple servers you will need to use sticky load balancing to make sure users only use one webserver? What options are there in case I want to keep all session state in cookies? That is, ideally, I would generate an encrypted cookie w/ CRC containing the logged in username and minimal information about the user. And I would like to do this within the confines of Struts. Thanks for any help and I aplogize if this is a redundant question. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
