When session replication starts?

[barabaka]

The question is when the replication of session actually starts?

Consider the following scenario: we have serializable object let's call it SessionData which we put into the session. Then we make change on SessionData property, for instance

sessionData.setName("new name");

Of course the code above will not trigger replication immediately, but will the sessionData object be replicated after some period of time or we need to call session.setAttribute() explicitly?

Replication happens when the request thread returns from your webapp code.

For whether it happens, see the explanation of replication-trigger in Section 5.7 of
