store as illustrated in Figure 2 (page 14) . In NSASJ, the embedded caches are in local mode and
do not share any data. Instead, when the clustered session information is put into the cache, it is
evicted to the remote backup store in the Infinispan Cache servers. Session data requests are
obtained by querying the remote backup store in Infinispan Cache servers. Thus, when requests
span across instances of NSASJ, the most recent data is obtained from the remote store. Also, the
remote store Infinispan Cache servers are configured to form a cluster, and are in distributed mode
to avoid any single point of failure.
Session replication configuration for NSASJ
For an application to have session replication on failover, the application must be distributable.
The following section describes the way to achieve session replication:
Indicate that the application is distributable. If the application is marked as distributable, the session
details are stored in the cache. To achieve this, add the <distributable/> element inside the
<web-app> tag of the application's web.xml file. The following example depicts the only
configuration change in the application:
Example 2 Sample snippet
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee " xmlns:xsi= http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd ">
<distributable/>
</web-app>
The default configuration given with NSASJ takes care of session replication.
Infinispan subsystem in domain.xml
The following snippet is a sample depicting the default configuration for session replication:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:infinispan:1.3">
<cache-container name="web" aliases="standard-session-cache" default-cache="web-local"
module="org.jboss.as.clustering.web.infinispan">
<local-cache name="web-local" batching="true" start="EAGER">
<remote-store cache="remote-web" socket-timeout="40000" tcp-no-delay="true" shared="true" preload="true"
passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false">
<remote-server outbound-socket-binding="remote-store-hotrod-server"/>
</remote-store>
