Adding/Exposing a custom module/service as part of the tomcat
Hi,
I want to add a custom service/module as part of the tomcat server which should start as part of tomcat startup.
Service : I want to expose a service as part of tomcat startup which can store all the active sessions for the application running on the server and when I call this service via RMI or HTTP (can expose anyhow) I get this information. This service will be used by other tomcat servers to know the information.
Usage : tomcat_1 calls tomcat_2 (on a specific port at which service is exposed) for the given end point, let say, getListOfSessions and this will return the list.
I want to know suggestion for implementing/exposing/configuring such a service/module.
PS : I want to do this as part of tomcat service to keep changes transparent of application.
Thanks & Regards,
HD

Why can't server1 contact server2 directly? There's no need for a 3rd
party to be involved.

Okay, you can still use JMX.
1. Catalyst client contacts server 1
2. Server 1 accepts the request, recognizes a "check server 2" request
3. Server 1 connects to server 2 via JMX (or via JMXProxyServlet,
which is probably more convenient) to call GetListOfSessions
4. Server 2 returns the list of sessions to server 1
5. Server 1 does whatever it needs to do with the session list from s2
6. Server 1 returns an "OK" response to the catalyst client

There is nothing in Tomcat that can specifically help you to do this
other than, for example, the availability of the session information
via JMX. You'll have to write everything else on your own.
If you want both servers to know about each others sessions, why not
cluster the nodes together and have Tomcat share the sessions between
the two servers?

Hi,
Thanks Christopher for JMX option but it is taking more time.
Use case :
I have two tomcat servers (s1 and s2). I will call a method in s1 server from external source. On the method invocation s1 contacts s2 and passes on the information (example some in-memory data stored for the s1 is passed on to s2).
If I use JMX, it is takes time to connect to server1 and fetch the information and then connects to server2 and update the information.
What I am looking for is to create light service and expose to some port (let say 8100). Now if I call this service on s1 (from outside) the s1 should connect the s2 and pass on the information.
Kindly provide me some suggestion on how I can do this.
Thanks & Regards,
HD

Why not just use the existing JMX beans to get that information? I
don't think you have to write anything new.
