Simple,
Don't use it! Use real "In Memory"- session replication and
Non-Stickyness is not support and usefull at java web application.
Please, read the servlet spec.

We have a load balancer and several Tomcat instances. Currently this
"cluster" uses sticky sessions, ie. the load balancer routes the
request to the Tomcat instance holding the session which belongs to
the
request. The goal is to change our configuration so that all sessions
are persisted to a shared network filesystem, thus allowing non-sticky
sessions -- ie. any tomcat instance can handle a request.
The Overview section of the Tomcat 5.5 Clustering/Session
Replication HOW-TO (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cluster-
howto.html)
suggests that this configuration is possible: "1. Using session
persistence, and saving the session to a shared file system
(PersistenceManager + FileStore)".
I've tried the following Manager config:
<Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager"
maxActiveSessions="-1"
maxIdleBackup="0"
maxIdleSwap="0"
minIdleSwap="0">
<Store className="org.apache.catalina.session.FileStore"
directory="sessions"/>
</Manager>
maxIdleBackup=0 because we want the session to become instantly
eligible for persisting to the store,
maxIdleSwap=0 to have it persisted right after last access,
minIdleSwap=0 (similarly).
With
this configuration, the session is still not persisted immediately,
instead it seems to occur a minute or so later. If a new request for
the same session is routed by the load balancer to another Tomcat, and
the original Tomcat still hasn't persisted it to the filesystem, then
the new request will get an old copy of the session or none at all.
Have I misunderstood something here?
