Session Replication using JBossCache

[ssunduko]

Hi everyone.

Could anyone point me to the example/documentation on how to set up JBossCache to do session replication?
I also have somewhat a silly question, but the most stupid question is the one you do not ask, so here it goes. If I have JBossCache set up to distribute across the cluster and I place HTTPSession in it, would it in effect enable session replication? If this indeed is true, the only question than remains, how do I make session failover transparent? In other words I would not have to go to the Cache explicitly to get the session in case failure or a server hop

Thanks for you help in advance

I have implemented http session replication using JBossCache, if this is what you are looking for.

See this wiki:

Thanks Ben. Your article says that this only in-memory replication? Can I use SleepyCat for JBossCache persistance.

Thanks,

Yes, you can. But keep in mind that Tomcat seems to have its own persistency framework. I haven't looked into it fully yet.

Hi everyone,

I configured JBoss by following the instruction in the link:http://www.jboss.org/developers/projects/jboss/tc5-clustering.html

But I got following error message when I started the JBoss:

[JBossCacheService] jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache service to Tomcat clustering no found
[JBossCacheManager] JBossCacheService to Tomcat clustering not found
[TomcatDeployer] Failed to setup clustering, clustering disabled

Do you guys know what is wrong with my configuration?

Thanks in advance.

Are you running the -c all configuration with JBoss 3.2.6 and later? It says you don't the MBean service deployed.
