hi,

Thanks.

As you say below, the node surviving node continues to work fine when I
"kill -9" the other.  My problem is that when I do a "graceful" shutdown of
the node that contains the "MasterConfigurationStore".  When I do this it
not only shuts down the node and obviously that node's application, but it
also shuts down the application on the surviving node.  This is a problem.

hi,
WADI is targeted for exceptional case such as
"ctl-c" , "kill -9" shutdown web container, if you directly shutdown
server, it won't replicate session.
You can refer to section "What are WADI's goals?" of wadi page:
http://wadi.codehaus.org/faq.html#status, for your convenience, i pasted it
here:
What are WADI's goals? [08/06/04]
      In the Web tier, we can crystallise WADI's goals into two stages:
            To be able to walk into your web farm and 'ctl-c' any
            webcontainer node without losing any HttpSessions (i.e.
            customers).
            To be able to walk into the same web farm and 'kill -9' any
            webcontainer node without losing any HttpSessions (i.e.
            customers).
      The first of these two cases is important because it allows easy
      maintenance of existing h/w or s/w. This may seem a trivial
      requirement, but many existing solutions are time-consuming and/or
      error-prone (involving draining sessions off target nodes over long
      periods etc.), to the point that many sites simply accept that
      maintenance will impact quality of service. The second of these two
      cases deals with a more exceptional case - the catastrophic failure
      of a webcontainer node. As online competition for business increases,
      systems are being required to provide higher and higher levels of
      availibility. This can be critical in particular areas. The ability
      to preserve web-tier state beyond the failure of its node is
      correspondingly an increasing requirement.

      I have two installations of Geronimo 2.1.5 installed on the same test
      server.
      Each installation has multiple instances.  I’ve created a cluster
      using
      installation1, instance1 (nodeA) and installation2, instance2
      (nodeB).  The
      logs indicate that each node is a cluster member.

      To help with application management, I’ve created a Farm with nodeA
      and
      nodeB as the only members. The test application was successfully
      deployed to
      the MasterConfigurationStore and is available on both nodes.  Also,
      stopping
      the application using G_MASTER will stop the application on both
      nodes.  So
      far, so good.  All seems to be working fine.

      The problem comes when I do a graceful shutdown of the Geronimo
      instance
      which I used to deploy the application to the
      MasterConfigurationStore
      (nodeA). Shutting down this instance also causes the application on
      nodeB to
      stop. Not so if I “kill -9” the specific instance process.
      Is this the expected reaction to a graceful shutdown?

      Also, I tried configuring the default instance of installation1 as a
      member
      of the Farm and than deploying the app to it (rmi=1099).  The app
      deploys
      okay to the clustered instances but the app on installation1,
      instance1
      (nodeA) will not start and stop through the Farm.  Any suggestions?

      Here’s some information on my configuration:
