Yeah, but you still need to uncomment the cluster element in the server.xml. Also if you have a multi-homed server you need to bind multicast to a specific ip address. Not to mention that you need to set up mod_jk and apache to load balance. It is not just adding a trivial </distributable> xml element into the web.xml that makes load balancing with session replication work.
Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter....

I thought </distributable> XML element in web.xml does that automatically. -----Original Message----- From: Randall Svancara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 9:40 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: tomcat load-balancing maintenance strategy? You need to implement either in memory session replication or persist the session in a database or a shared file system. I have finally got my tomcat cluster working and session replication is functional.

Hi, I am load-balancing tomcat 5.0.28 using JK1.2 / AJP1.3. For discussion, let's assume I have 2 tomcats (TomcatA and TomcatB) load-balanced. When I shutdown one of the tomcats (Tomcat B), future requests for TomcatB is correctly redirected and handled by the TomcatA. However, the original session on TomcatB is not passed over to TomcatA, and a re-login is required. My question: 1. Is it possible to pass the session information to TomcatA before shutting down TomcatB? For eg. we want to perform servers upgrade, so we down TomcatB, upgrade it, start TomcatB, before doing the same to TomcatA. - Jim ************************************************************************ The information in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee(s).
