Martin, thanks for the pointers. Though, I'd rather like to start with the default solution (i.e. something that works out of the box with the Tomcat deliverable) In the meanwhile, I brought the SimpleTcpCluster to work. I will report here soon with some code.
Still, I would be *very* interested in knowing how to use the PersistentManager to realize session failover - if it is inteded to serve that purpose at all.
