Replicating session in JBoss
In this tutorial, we will see how to do Session replication in Weblogic Cluster
You now need to use the node1 and node2 created before
In session-test.war/WEB-INF/web.xml, add:
<web-app>
<display-name>Session Test</display-name>
<description>...</description>
<distributable/> <!-- -->
...
</web-app>
| Your application’s HTTP sessions now use the distributed cache. |
Now :
Disable sticky sessions (optional)
Redeploy session-test.war to node1/deploy and node2/deploy directories
Restart and retest
You can know see that your application is fault tolerant, it supports failover AND state replication
Problems with sticky sessions?
Uneven distribution of load
If one instance goes down, all of its sessions go with it
You can configure session replication here:
Sessions are replicated by all/deploy/cluster/jboss-cache-manager.sar:
Cache Mode: REPL_SYNC, REPL_ASYNC
Caching Configuration: replication queue
Cluster Name and Configuration: communication

Configure session replication per app in WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml
Replication trigger: SET, SET_AND_GET, SET_AND_NON_PRIMITIVE_GET, ACCESS
Replication granularity: SESSION, ATTRIBUTE, FIELD
deploy/cluster/jboss-cache-manager.sar/META-INF/jboss-cache-manager-jboss-beans.xml:
<deployment ...>
...
<bean name="CacheConfigurationRegistry" ...>
...
<property name="newConfigurations">
<map keyClass="java.lang.String" valueClass="org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration">
<entry><key>standard-session-cache</key>
<value>
<bean name="StandardSessionCacheConfig" class="org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration">
...
<property name="clusterName">${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}-SessionCache</property>
<property name="multiplexerStack">${jboss.default.jgroups.stack:udp}</property>
<property name="fetchInMemoryState">true</property>
<property name="nodeLockingScheme">PESSIMISTIC</property>
<property name="isolationLevel">REPEATABLE_READ</property>
<property name="useLockStriping">false</property>
<property name="cacheMode">REPL_ASYNC</property>
<property name="syncReplTimeout">17500</property>
<property name="lockAcquisitionTimeout">15000</property>
...
</bean>
</value>
</entry>
...
</map>
</property>
...
</bean>
...
</deployment>
You can also specify for each application some parameters:
WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml:
<jboss-web>
<replication-config>
<replication-trigger>SET_AND_NON_PRIMITIVE_GET</replication-trigger>
<replication-granularity>SESSION</replication-granularity>
</replication-config>
</jboss-web>
