A cluster manager is an extension to Tomcat's session manager interface,
org.apache.catalina.Manager .
A cluster manager must implement the
org.apache.catalina.ha.ClusterManager and is solely responsible
for how the session is replicated.
There are currently two different managers, the
org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager replicates deltas of
session data to all members in the cluster. This implementation is proven and
works very well, but has a limitation as it requires the cluster members to be
homogeneous, all nodes must deploy the same applications and be exact
replicas. The org.apache.catalina.ha.session.BackupManager also
replicates deltas but only to one backup node. The location of the backup node
is known to all nodes in the cluster. It also supports heterogeneous
deployments, so the manager knows at what locations the web application is
deployed.

The <Manager> |
The <Manager> element defined inside the
<Cluster> element is the template defined for all web
applications that are marked <distributable/> in their
web.xml file. However, you can still override the manager
implementation on a per web application basis, by putting the
<Manager> inside the <Context> element
either in the context.xml file or the
server.xml file.

Attributes |
Common Attributes |
Attribute | Description |
---|
className |
| name |
The name of this cluster manager, the name is used to identify a
session manager on a node. The name might get modified by the
Cluster element to make it unique in the container.
| defaultMode |
Deprecated since 6.0.0
| notifyListenersOnReplication |
Set to true if you wish to have session listeners notified
when session attributes are being replicated or removed across Tomcat
nodes in the cluster.
| expireSessionsOnShutdown |
When a web application is being shutdown, Tomcat issues an expire call
to each session to notify all the listeners. If you wish for all
sessions to expire on all nodes when a shutdown occurs on one node, set
this value to true . Default value is false .
|
|
org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager Attributes |
Attribute | Description |
---|
domainReplication |
Deprecated since 6.0.0
If you wish sessions to be replicated only to members that have the
same logical domain set, use
DomainFilterInterceptor .
| expireSessionsOnShutdown |
When a web application is being shutdown, Tomcat issues an expire call
to each session to notify all the listeners. If you wish for all
sessions to expire on all nodes when a shutdown occurs on one node, set
this value to true .
Default value is false .
| maxActiveSessions |
The maximum number of active sessions that will be created by this
Manager, or -1 (the default) for no limit. For this manager, all
sessions are counted as active sessions irrespective if whether or not
the current node is the primary node for the session.
| notifySessionListenersOnReplication |
Set to true if you wish to have session listeners notified
when sessions are created and expired across Tomcat nodes in the
cluster.
| notifyContainerListenersOnReplication |
Set to true if you wish to have container listeners notified
across Tomcat nodes in the cluster.
| sessionAttributeNameFilter |
A regular expression used to filter which session attributes will be
replicated. An attribute will only be replicated if its name matches
this pattern. If the pattern is zero length or null , all
attributes are eligible for replication. The pattern is anchored so the
session attribute name must fully match the pattern. As an example, the
value (userName|sessionHistory) will only replicate the
two session attributes named userName and
sessionHistory . If not specified, the default value of
null will be used.
| sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter |
A regular expression used to filter which session attributes will be
replicated. An attribute will only be replicated if the implementation
class name of the value matches this pattern. If the pattern is zero
length or null , all attributes are eligible for
replication. The pattern is anchored so the fully qualified class name
must fully match the pattern. If not specified, the default value of
null will be used unless a SecurityManager is
enabled in which case the default will be
java\\.lang\\.(?:Boolean|Integer|Long|Number|String) .
| warnOnSessionAttributeFilterFailure |
If sessionAttributeNameFilter or
sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter blocks an
attribute, should this be logged at WARN level? If
WARN level logging is disabled then it will be logged at
DEBUG . The default value of this attribute is
false unless a SecurityManager is enabled in
which case the default will be true .
| stateTransferTimeout |
The time in seconds to wait for a session state transfer to complete
from another node when a node is starting up.
Default value is 60 seconds.
| sessionAttributeFilter |
A regular expression used to filter, which session attributes will
be replicated. An attribute will only be replicated, if its name
matches this pattern. If the pattern is not set (default), all
attributes are eligible for replication. As an example, the value
^(userName|sessionHistory)$ will only replicate the two
session attributes named userName and
sessionHistory .

|
org.apache.catalina.ha.session.BackupManager Attributes |
Attribute | Description |
---|
mapSendOptions |
The backup manager uses a replicated map, this map is sending and
receiving messages. You can setup the flag for how this map is sending
messages, the default value is 6 (synchronous).
Note that if you use asynchronous messaging it is possible for update
messages for a session to be processed by the receiving node in a
different order to the order in which they were sent.
| maxActiveSessions |
The maximum number of active sessions that will be created by this
Manager, or -1 (the default) for no limit. For this manager, only
sessions where the current node is the primary node for the session are
considered active sessions.
| rpcTimeout |
Timeout for RPC message used for broadcast and transfer state from
another map.
Default value is 15000 milliseconds.
| sessionAttributeNameFilter |
A regular expression used to filter which session attributes will be
replicated. An attribute will only be replicated if its name matches
this pattern. If the pattern is zero length or null , all
attributes are eligible for replication. The pattern is anchored so the
session attribute name must fully match the pattern. As an example, the
value (userName|sessionHistory) will only replicate the
two session attributes named userName and
sessionHistory . If not specified, the default value of
null will be used.
| sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter |
A regular expression used to filter which session attributes will be
replicated. An attribute will only be replicated if the implementation
class name of the value matches this pattern. If the pattern is zero
length or null , all attributes are eligible for
replication. The pattern is anchored so the fully qualified class name
must fully match the pattern. If not specified, the default value of
null will be used unless a SecurityManager is
enabled in which case the default will be
java\\.lang\\.(?:Boolean|Integer|Long|Number|String) .
| warnOnSessionAttributeFilterFailure |
If sessionAttributeNameFilter or
sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter blocks an
attribute, should this be logged at WARN level? If
WARN level logging is disabled then it will be logged at
DEBUG . The default value of this attribute is
false unless a SecurityManager is enabled in
which case the default will be true .
