All,
We've had Tomcat clustering working in test and production for months.
We run on HP UX 11.11.
We recently upgraded the OS and I think Tomcat clustering quit working
at that point.
I'm not sure of the OS connection but the session data is not being
replicated throughout the cluster.
We are running Tomcat 5.0.28.
Apparently clustering is failing at
ReplicationTransmitter.sendMessageData() on a null sender.
My question is what are the likely causes of the sender not being
available? Is there a way to pickup additional logging that might
indicate why the sender is not available?
Are there any known Tomcat clustering bugs or problems related to HP UX
11.11 versions?
How should I debug this problem?
Some things I've tried:
1. Completely rebuilt the Tomcat environment in test and still got the
same SEVERE error.
2. Changed all the multicast port and TCP port stuff and it still did
not work.
3. Switched from using the
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.SimpleTcpReplicationManager to
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager but that didn't help
either.
Thanks,
Jack

Here's the Tomcat 5.0.28 code from ReplicationTransmitter.java -

Also get an error like the following when the second server in the
cluster is starting:
