Create configurable strategy for dealing with serialization
incompatiblities
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WFLY-3502
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3502
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Clustering
Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final
Reporter: Paul Ferraro
Assignee: Paul Ferraro
When a new release of a web application is deployed to an existing cluster, any changes
to the object placed in the web session can cause serialization incompatibilities. To
handle this cleanly, we typically recommend that users leverage isolated cluster and
mod_cluster load balancing groups (or mod_jk domains) to transition users to the new
version of an application.
For simple applications, this might be overkill. It might be acceptable/preferable to
create a new session in the event of a serialization incompatibility, rather than failing
the request. We should allow developers to configure this behavior per-application.
