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: Clustering, Web (Tomcat) service
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
         Assigned To: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1


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?
