Tomcat Clustering with Session Persistence

+3 votes
331 views

We have currently started using tomcat 7.0 in our development environment. Following are the configuration Details :

Tomcat Version : 7.0.55
Java Version :1.7.0.67

We have a requirement to implement clustering for one of our applications . The same application's active but idle sessions need to be persisted to a JDBC store . We have a small cluster of just two nodes so as recommended we need to use DeltaManager but for session persistence we need to use PersistentManager . PersistentManager is not recommended for clustering as the session data is not swapped out in real time.As far as I understand , we can only use one of the manager configurations .

Can you please let me know if it is possible to achieve session persistence along with clustering , If yes how can we achieve the same ?

Enable session persistence between two tomcat nodes behind load balancer

I have been searching for an answer to how to set this up. I find a lot of posts on session persistence but none seem to describe how to set it up. Is there a simple explanation out there that tells me how I go about setting up session persistence (with Apache, I would just set up memcached on the db server and configure the memcache module on each Apache instance to point to the memcached and it works). I don't need opcode persistence. I just want the tomcats to either a) direct all session traffic to a single node or b) make the two tomcats aware of all sessions. Can someone point me in the right direction? I am not a java coder, but if code changes need to be made, I can work through it.

How to create custom session and cookie in Tomcat 7/8 ?

I'm trying to figure out how I can create custom session cookies. I've found the Manager interface for creating the sessions, but there's nothing about the actual session cookie. I don't see anything in the Valve interface that will let me do this either. Is this possible in Tomcat 7 (or 8?).

Why do sticky sessions matter when session replication turned on in Tomcat

Setup:
- Two physical servers each running Tomcat 7.0.42
- Brocade load balancer in front

The load balancer is set to source IP persistence for 5 minutes. This time can be changed of course.

The thing I don't understand is 5 minutes or 5 hours - at then end that time limit the user can be sent to the other server and lose data stored in the session.

So why do sticky sessions matter when session replication turned on in Tomcat? Is a performance issue?

Tomcat 7.0.4 - Ignoring certain URLs from session timeout

I am running Apache Tomcat 7.0.4 on Linux and the session-timeout is configured to 30 minutes. All requests from my client pass in the session cookie. However, I do not want the session timeout counter to get reset for certain URLs.

Is there a way to configure Tomcat to ignore certain URLs when resetting its timeout counter for a particular session?
