Clustering OFBiz

[Sterling Okura <st...@bizlift.com>]

Hi fellow OFBizers!

The ofbiz-containers config file shows support for clustering, and I think
I'm close to having it work between two servers.  The logs show replication
members being added and mcast pings back and forth.  However, no replication
is going on and no errors other than the log showing members disappearing
then being quickly added back.

I've searched around for info on setting up OFBiz clustering & session
replication using the embedded Tomcat, but could find no definitive
instructions (just several requests for help and a link to the Tomcat
clustering docs).

I installed the Lambda Probe for Tomcat via hot-deploy and it shows that the
ecommerce app as clustered with the sessions & all of the session elements
serialized.

There has to be people out there that have successfully setup session
replication using the embedded Tomcat.  Any tips or pointers would be
greatly appreciated.  I've spent way too many hours trying to get it going,
and all I have are pings and membership adding.  I'm also willing to pay for
hourly consultation if you'd like to contact me directly.

Once I'm able to get the session replication working, I'll write up a howto
for the wiki.

By the way, I'm using a checkout from about a year ago, but did upgrade the
Catalina app to use Tomcat 5.5.20.

thank you much,
sterling
