RE: [EXT]Re: [EXT]Re: Tomcat 10 session replication fails

Hi Chuck,
Your suggestion did not work.

I defined Membership as suggested.......
<Membership className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService"
	  	  	  	 	                        address="228.0.0.4"
	  	  	  	 	                        port="45563"
	  	  	  	 	                        frequency="500"
	  	  	  	 	                        localLoopbackDisabled="true"
	  	  	  	 	                        dropTime="3000"/>

and still getting this in the logs............

org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager.startInternal Starting clustering manager at [##0001]
15-Apr-2024 07:55:36.744 INFO [main] org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager.getAllClusterSessions Manager [##0001]: skipping state transfer. No members active in cluster group

Do you think the transfer is not happening because the application is only on one machine?
Our Production environment will have  our application on two machines but in our dev environment we have only one machine in the "cluster". So we really do not have a "cluster" environment.
Again, we would like to know is going on before we introduce clustering in our live environment.

We are using Java 17 and Tomcat 10

There’s a cluster configuration option that may be coming into play here: localLoopbackDisabled. Once upon a time, the JDK method:
        MulticastSocket.setLoopbackMode(boolean disable) did the opposite of what one might think from just the method name - passing in true disabled local receipt of multicast packets. That method has since been deprecated, and Tomcat currently uses this method:
        <T> DatagramSocket.setOption​(SocketOption<T> name, T value) which, at least in Java 21, operates as you might expect from the name - specifying true enables multicast loopback.

However, there’s some interesting logic in Tomcat's handling of localLoopbackDisabled that can inverts the config value based on the Java level, along with this comment:
        Java < 14, a value of true means loopback is disabled. Java 14+ a value of true means loopback is enabled.

Having not dug into the JRE source code for the various Java versions, I’m not yet convinced the version checking logic is correct. You might try setting localLoopbackDisabled to true in your <Membership … /> config to see if that has an effect on your dev system.

Also, let us know what Java version you’re using.

  - Chuck

I've never set up replication in Tomcat, so I may be speaking out of turn.

But is it possible that since you have only a single node (right?), 
Tomcat is really saying "skipping state transfer. No [other] members 
active in cluster group"?
