According to the sevlet spec: "context attributes are local to the JVM in which they were created. This prevents ServletContext attributes from being a shared memory store in a distributed container".
What Id like to know is how this affects configuration information I load in a PlugIn or in a servlets init method when the application starts up. If there are multiple JVMs, each will get its own instance of the same servlet (which presumably is marked as load on startup), so will init be called on each of them? or just for one machine?
Im guessing the former, as the latter seems dodgy, but Id like to hear it from someone who actually knows for sure.
Well I've never had to cluster any application but since no-one else answered, here's my input, since I'm interested.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the servlet context contain the request, the response and the session? I don't know what generic context attributes are. I guess your answer lies therein.
I would also guess that each servlet container calls the init method on every servlet. Do you have a clustered test environment to test it with some logging statements?
