Hello, I'm instested to know how does Tomcat manage user sessions. I'd like to build a robust application that can survive after server's crashes. Thereby, I'd like that the application is able to recover the session to allow users to go on their work where they were. I've searched information on tomcat's website and I've read that in using clustering features it would be possible to share sessions with differents Tomcat instances by storing them in a shared storage such as DBMS or XML file. Thus, I thought my application could save sessions in a DBMS to recover them after crashes or network failure. However I don't know how to do this. Does somebody could bring me more documentation or tell me more about it. I would like to know : - how should I configure Tomcat for doing that ? - how tomcat save sessions and what does it do of objets linked to the session ? - how can I recover sessions and get it back to the right user? Thanks for your help.
