Session replication



Hi there,

i have a general question regarding session replication in tomcat 5.5, i am new to this topic. What i want to setup is a system with an hw-loadbalancer (or maybe an apache with mod_jk and worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers) an 2 servers with one tomcat on each server. the application on both servers works with sessions, so i want session replication between those 2 tomcats. What confuses me: it is said in many documentations regarding the topic tomcat clustering/session replication  that i have to configure my lb with sticky sessions ?! That is exactly not want i want, what is the use of session replication if i configure my lb with sticky sessions in an setup described above. It makes sense for failover scenarios, but not when i want to loadbalance two tomcats with an applikation with sessions. So is that possible at all ?

regards,
sj
