Yeah but, I would like to link the websocket session with the http session of the handshake. and that way i will be able to imitiate the session replication abilities for websocket.
This mechanism works as intended only problem is the replication not replicate http session attribute while the websocket connection is happening (since this is not a regular httpsession \ request cycle) my question is - can i activate manually some kind of action on the http session to make it "Refresh" so the tomcat will replicate it every time i set new attribute? (I remind you again that pressing f5 will reconnect the websocket and the attributes are being copied). Thanks.
