[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-3864) HttpSession replication does not always retry if replication fails

HttpSession replication does not always retry if replication fails ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-3864 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3864 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service, Clustering Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assigned To: Brian Stansberry Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1 Attachments: JBAS-3864.Branch_4_2.rev58893.svndiff If replication of a session fails, the session replication layer does not retry. This leaves the local session map in JBossCacheManager out of sync with the distributed cache. If there is a failover while the distributed cache is out of sync, the user will see stale data. Need to retry a (configurable) X number of times. If the session still doesn't replicate, need to decide what to do -- i.e. is it too late in the request cycle to throw an exception and return an error to the client?
