I am facing difficulty to make far cache pattern work in cluster. I am using JBoss AS 4.2.2 in clustered environment with far cache configured on remote computer as MBean as described in document at
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossClusteringPatternFarCache
HttpSession is created in far cache on remote computer as expected but if I bringdown node that created httpSession, object from far cache is also removed while other node in cluster is still live. So when other node gets request, it can't failover.
I think I am missing something very basic.
Here is configuration in jboss-web-cluster.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.cache.aop.TreeCacheAop"
