The tomcat doc of apache says, there are three ways, wecan achieve session replication among tomcat nodes - Using session persistence, and saving the session to a shared file system (PersistenceManager + FileStore) Using session persistence, and saving the session to a shared database (PersistenceManager + JDBCStore) Using in-memory-replication, using the SimpleTcpCluster that ships with Tomcat 6 (lib/catalina-tribes.jar + lib/catalina-ha.jar) In my application, I do use SINGLE cluster having TWO tomcat 7.0.25 nodes. I want to configure session replication between these two nodes. Can anybody provide some points describing which one I should use and why ? I am able to set up session replication using point 3. It works good. I want to play with option 1 & 2 also. But not able to find out any link that describes point 1 & 2. It would be really very helpful if anyone can provide me some docs or links on point 1 & point 2. Thanks in advance.

Session Replication between tomcat nodes

The tomcat doc of apache says, there are three ways, wecan achieve session replication among tomcat nodes -

Using session persistence, and saving the session to a shared file system (PersistenceManager + FileStore)
Using session persistence, and saving the session to a shared database (PersistenceManager + JDBCStore)

In my application, I do use SINGLE cluster having TWO tomcat 7.0.25 nodes. I want to configure session replication between these two nodes. Can anybody provide some points describing which one I should use and why ?
