During manual failover testing, here is what we have observed: 1. element "<distributable />" needs to be added to both gatein.ear/ 02portal.war/WEB-INF/web.xml and also to the porlet's web.xml. Should this be required in both places? 2. There is problem with credential replication. It's not possible to login to GateIn portal when distributable is used in portal web.xml. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setAttribute: Non-serializable attribute at org .jboss .web .tomcat .service.session.ClusteredSession.setAttribute(ClusteredSession.java: 867) at org .apache .catalina .session .StandardSessionFacade.setAttribute(StandardSessionFacade.java:130) at org .exoplatform .web.login.PortalLoginController.doGet(PortalLoginController.java:52) at org .exoplatform .web.login.PortalLoginController.doPost(PortalLoginController.java:81) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637) at org .exoplatform .container .web.AbstractHttpServlet.onService(AbstractHttpServlet.java:165) at org .exoplatform .container.web.AbstractHttpServlet.service(AbstractHttpServlet.java: 114) Making org.exoplatform.web.security.Credentials and similar other classes need to be serializable. _______________________________________________ gatein-dev mailing list gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/gatein-dev

Hi Julien, I have created a jira for this https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-339 so that we know it's there. Yes, transitivity of serialization would definitely have been the next problem and this needs to be looked at much higher level first as you suggested. For now, I will temporarily postpone the clustering and fail over testing. At least we have the setup ready, so when things get working we would have a way to verify. ;-) Cheers, prabhat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julien Viet" <julien(a)julienviet.com&gt; To: "Prabhat Jha" <pjha(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: "gatein-dev" <gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2009 1:48:47 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [gatein-dev] problem with replication Hi Prabhat, we are working at the management level at setting up things to work on the fault tolerance aspect of GateIn clustering. For now, no such development has yet begun. Even if you could go beyond 1+2, you would hit the webui state stored in the portal session that is not replicable. I'll keep you informed when we have a more concrete roadmap on this item. cheers ps: making everything serializable will lead to an error because of the transitivity of the serialization nature.
