Christopher thanks for answer. I'm thinking to use this solution because the application is very big and updates will be frequent. I had set context descriptor and now all tomcat points to a folder on other machine. Load balancing works fine, but when I shutdown a tomcat with a open session, replication sessions doesn't works. What do you think?
