I'm investigating to set up my first Tomcat cluster and have some questions.
1. Using a SimpleTcpCluster, it looks like session information is replicated to all members of the cluster. If all members of the cluster go down at once, is the session information lost? Can a simple cluster be combined with a Persistent Manager to save session information if all members of the cluster go down at once? 2. If I set up a SimpleTcpCluster, does that eliminate the need for the load balancer to use "sticky" sessions? 3. Is it possible to use a PersisentManager and a shared database to "replicate" sessions through the database, eliminating the need for the clustering stuff? I've read some posts that indicate that the PersistentManager writes sessions to the database at its discretion, not immediately. 4. Has anyone used nginx as a load balancer for tomcat? Any feedback on the wisdom of that?
