----------------------------------------

Thanks for the patch :)

I think that's the fundamental thing, although I'd like to move away from configuring this via the Tomcat5MBean. Rather I'd like to configure it via jboss-web.xml.

> 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?
