Hi, I'm trying to test simple session sharing using SimpleTCPCluster on Tomcat 7.0.32.
Following the documentation, I've uncommented the <Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"/> element, and ensured <distributable /> is in the web.xml of the examples web app. >From the docs: - All your session attributes must implement java.io.Serializable I know the webapps don't, but for proof of concept this is fine. My real app does. - Uncomment the Cluster element in server.xml Done. - If you have defined custom cluster valves, make sure you have the ReplicationValve defined as well under the Cluster element in server.xml I haven't. - If your Tomcat instances are running on the same machine, make sure the tcpListenPort attribute is unique for each instance, in most cases Tomcat is smart enough to resolve this on it's own by autodetecting available ports in the range 4000-4100 I have 2 x VMs running on CentOS 6.3, on different IPs - Make sure your web.xml has the <distributable/> element Done. - If you are using mod_jk, make sure that jvmRoute attribute is set at your Engine <Engine name="Catalina" jvmRoute="node01" > and that the jvmRoute attribute value matches your worker name in workers.properties I'm not. - Make sure that all nodes have the same time and sync with NTP service! Done. - Make sure that your loadbalancer is configured for sticky session mode. Done (I'm using haproxy). However, on starting Tomcat, I see: Nov 20, 2012 10:50:16 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start SEVERE: Catalina.start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardServer[8005]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:684) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:322) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:451) Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardService[Catalina]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.startInternal(StandardServer.java:732) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 7 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.startInternal(StandardService.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 9 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster[Catalina]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.startInternal(ContainerBase.java:1106) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.startInternal(StandardEngine.java:302) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 11 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.apache.catalina.tribes.ChannelException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.UnknownHostException: auto: Name or service not known; No faulty members identified. at org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster.startInternal(SimpleTcpCluster.java:674) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 14 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.tribes.ChannelException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.UnknownHostException: auto: Name or service not known; No faulty members identified. at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelCoordinator.internalStart(ChannelCoordinator.java:178) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelCoordinator.start(ChannelCoordinator.java:99) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelInterceptorBase.start(ChannelInterceptorBase.java:162) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelInterceptorBase.start(ChannelInterceptorBase.java:162) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.MessageDispatchInterceptor.start(MessageDispatchInterceptor.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelInterceptorBase.start(ChannelInterceptorBase.java:162) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel.start(GroupChannel.java:419) at org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster.startInternal(SimpleTcpCluster.java:669) ... 15 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.UnknownHostException: auto: Name or service not known at org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService.setLocalMemberProperties(McastService.java:182) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.ChannelCoordinator.internalStart(ChannelCoordinator.java:147) ... 22 more Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: auto: Name or service not known at java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(Native Method) at java.net.InetAddress$1.lookupAllHostAddr(InetAddress.java:866) at java.net.InetAddress.getAddressesFromNameService(InetAddress.java:1258) at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName0(InetAddress.java:1211) at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1127) at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1063) at java.net.InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.java:1013) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.MemberImpl.setHostname(MemberImpl.java:598) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.MemberImpl.<init>(MemberImpl.java:142) at org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService.setLocalMemberProperties(McastService.java:173) ... 23 more Nov 20, 2012 10:50:16 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 285 ms I can connect to the machine on port 8080, but nothing is served: # telnet 10.1.1.214 8080 Trying 10.1.1.214...
