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

Tomohisa Igarashi commented on JBAS-3864:
-----------------------------------------

I Think returning error to the client is not so good. In this case, primary node is alive and the application is successfully completed. Only buckup node is failed.

> 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?
