All (especially Filip ;-),

I have a <distributable/> web app.  When run on a single, non-clustered
Tomcat, it behaves correctly, maintaining the session state essentially
forever.  When run in a cluster, however, the session state is lost (the
session is clearly destroyed.)

The application essentially refreshes a page at less then the timeout value
specified in web.xml.  This should maintain the last access time (and it
does for non-clustered environments.) 

This happens on 5.5.12, and 5.5.17 in both Windows and Linux environments.

I've boiled this down to a very simple JSP, web.xml, and session listener
for anyone who wants to take a stab at it.  The files are included below.
Session timeout is 2 minutes / 120 seconds, and meta-refresh is at 90
seconds.  Here is the output of three page loads for index.jsp:

1st load:

This is a simple index.jsp
Session ID	                  6A4E1FB6E52889FBC6BAF8D298375E27.tim9009
Session created at	      2006-05-128 11:40:29.587
Session last accessed at	2006-05-128 11:40:29.587
Current time is	            2006-05-128 11:40:29.587
Session max inactive interval	120

(New session, all three timestamps are identical)

2nd load (1st refresh):

This is a simple index.jsp
Session ID	                  6A4E1FB6E52889FBC6BAF8D298375E27.tim9009
Session created at	      2006-05-128 11:40:29.587
Session last accessed at	2006-05-128 11:40:29.587
Current time is	            2006-05-128 11:41:59.634
Session max inactive interval	120

(meta-refresh at 90 seconds, current time is ~90 seconds later then last
accessed time)

3rd load (2nd refresh):

This is a simple index.jsp
Session ID	                  6019F1DDD1DC9162A88CD0A4DD0291A2.tim9009
Session created at	      2006-05-128 11:43:29.665
Session last accessed at	2006-05-128 11:43:29.665
Current time is	            2006-05-128 11:43:29.665
Session max inactive interval	120

(Session has been destroyed.  The SessionListener logs the destruction,
about 2 minutes after the last access time from the first page load.

Time: 2006-05-08 11:43:08,806
Thread: ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]
Message: destroy session [ID=6A4E1FB6E52889FBC6BAF8D298375E27.tim9009,

Note that the LAST (access time) was not updated by request #2.

Here are the relevant files.  I will mail any of the developers a .zip with
everything included (an entire Eclipse project in fact) if requested.
