Hi all,
We are trying to setup session replication using tomcat as webserver. We have two nodes communicating together via multicast address groups using asynchronous communication channel. As an underlying platform, we are using liferay portal. We are having problems using Backup Manager especially when deploying hot portlets. The attached error (Backup Error.txt) is being produced. A lot of research has been carried out but we did not find any reasonable solution. You can also find a copy of our server.xml file in which all settings related to tomcat are found there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
