Clustering troubles.

[Rod Fitzsimmons Frey <rf...@psychometrics.com>]

I'm setting up a 2-node Tomcat cluster with jk_mod doing the 
loadbalancing.  The loadbalancing went without a hitch, or at least 
without hitches that maillist archives couldn't untie.  But now I'd like 
to have in-memory session replication between the two tomcat nodes.  I 
uncommented the cluster element in the server.xml file on each node, but 
clustering didn't "magically" happen as I hoped it would: no replication 
takes place.

I'm using a page in the jsp-examples webapp that sets a simple attribute 
on the session --  session.setAttribute("hello", "howdy");

When starting up Tomcat on each node, I get these log entries:

Apr 27, 2005 12:30:28 PM 
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager start
INFO: Starting clustering manager at /jsp-examples
Apr 27, 2005 12:30:28 PM 
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager start
INFO: Manager [/jsp-examples]: skipping state transfer. No members 
active in cluster group.

I get this on both nodes, even if I start one node, create a session, 
then start node 2.

Multicast is enabled: at least, when I ping 224.0.0.1, I get responses 
from all my interfaces.  Do I need to do something to join 228.0.0.4, or 
is that a programmatic thing?

I've pasted my workers.properties below (minus comments), and the 
cluster element from my server.xml.  I've tried adding a "name" 
attribute to the cluster element and to each of its child elements in 
turn, without effect.

TIA!
