Session Replication in Wildfly 10.1 does not seem to work
I have also posted the same question on stackoverflow (redhat - Session Replication in Wildfly 10.1 - Stack Overflow), but am looking for any help.
I am trying to enable session replication in my Wildfly 10.1 application with distributable WARs.
I am running on 2 instances of RedHat 7.2 on a managed host provider with full access to the OS and firewall. I don't have access to the router which our traffic is served, however the host has confirmed that multicast UDP is enabled.
I have SeLinux set to minimum, the ports are open in iptables, the multicast IPs have been subscribed, and my wildfly domain mode configuration is using a cloned full-ha profile with full-ha-sockets:
Here is the domain profile, which is vanilla with the exception of datasources:

Using TCPDump, I can see traffic for modcluster from both of my servers.
I have also run the McastReceiverTest (src: https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/master/tests/other/org/jgroups/tests/McastReceiverTest.java) via:
java org.jgroups.tests.McastReceiverTest -mcast_addr 230.0.0.4 -port 45700 and have used the following command:
printf "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc -vu 230.0.0.4 45700 and see the UDP traffic coming through.
I am not seeing anything for the jgroups from wildfly though. In my logs, when I look for the subscribed channels, I see
"Received new cluster view for channel server: [app-one:server-one|0] (1) [app-one:server-one]"
But I never see my second server on either instance. When I test, I have an F5 load balancer in front of both RedHat instances.
I have a few assumptions that I am hoping to clear up:
- Do I need to have Apache enabled for Modcluster? I'd assume not as it appears to be used for load balancing if you don't have a separate balancing mechanism.
- Is Session Replication the same as running a "hot-hot" scenario so that 2 applications can run and keep a session alive? My understanding is that I should be able to log into the application on server A and server B would be able to keep that session alive as well. We are trying to prevent the need for session stickyness.
- Can this run in a multi-server environment or is it only for 2 instances on the same local machine? I would assume that it should not matter if this is across a local machine or on 2 separate physicals/vms behind the same firewall.
Thank you.
