Hello

I am looking at running a cluster of Tomcat servers running on separate machine behind 
a cluster of web servers. I need the same session information stored and to be 
available across all instances of 
Tomcat - I can't guarantee that requests from the same client will end up at the same 
instance of Tomcat. So here are my potential solutions. I'd really appreciate people's 
comments on the stability/usability 
of each, please ?

1. Use the Persistent Manager component, provided by Tomcat itself, with  a JDBC based 
store. This looks great until I read that the implementation is considered 
experimental. What are people's 
experiences with this and how long will it be before this is considered stable ?

2. Write my own Filter which goes to the database and restores session stuff 
information for a client every time. 

3. Use JavaGroups (http://www.filip.net/tomcat/tomcat-javagroups-article.html). Looks 
great but there is a single point of failure - what happens if the JavaGroups 
component goes down ? Does anyone 
have any experience with this ? What is reliability and performance like ?

Thanks

Chris
