If you want to use tomcat1/conf/Catalina/localhost/, you'll want the file to be called tomcat1/conf/Catalina/localhost/examples.xml > with the following content: > > bml0066:local administrator$ cat > tomcat1/webapps/examples/META-INF/context.xml > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <Context className="org.apache.catalina.ha.context.ReplicatedContext" > distributed="true" > > </Context> Specifying the "className" for the <Context> shouldn't be necessary. There is no "distributed" attribute in the <Context> element. You should be configuring <distributed/> in web.xml, not in context.xml. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/cluster-howto.html > So the first question is, should I use the distributed="true" property here ? > Is the book right ?

That should be all you need, plus a <Cluster> configuration in server.xml.

By default I am using sticky sessions. <distributable> + clustering should result in session fail-over with our without sticky sessions. One could argue that session session stickiness is not necessary if you are fully replicating your sessions across the cluster -- though you may have some transient state that needs to be re-built on a fail-over target that might use more memory or resources in which case stickiness is useful. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2jTdgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAmUgCfVnrQRzku3/LzRoHNKYXYaUR1 DbYAnigFW9zo6QtGGlpC4KnIM5Nuz1Yq =KkFg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
