Dear Chris,

<distributable/> has been set in my Web application web.xml and I have
set as well the <Context distributable=3D"true"> in the context.xml of
both Tomcat Nodes but still not able to replicate my haspmap.

Please find below QueryCryptUser.java source code:


package com.guhesan.querycrypt.beans;

import java.util.HashMap;

import javax.crypto.SecretKey;


public class QueryCryptUser implements java.io.Serializable
{
	private String sessionID =3D "";
	private HashMap md5Keys =3D new HashMap();
	private SecretKey secretKey =3D null;=20
	/**
	 * @return Returns the md5Keys.
	 */
	public HashMap getMd5Keys()
	{
		return md5Keys;
	}
	/**
	 * @param md5Keys The md5Keys to set.
	 */
	public void setMd5Keys(HashMap md5Keys)
	{
		this.md5Keys =3D md5Keys;
	}
	/**
	 * @return Returns the sessionID.
	 */
	public String getSessionID()
	{
		return sessionID;
	}
	/**
	 * @param sessionID The sessionID to set.
	 */
	public void setSessionID(String sessionID)
	{
		this.sessionID =3D sessionID;
	}
=09
	public void addToMD5Map(String md5, byte[] encryptedStr)
	{
		this.md5Keys.put(md5, encryptedStr);
	}
=09
	public byte[] getByKey(String md5key)
	{
		return (byte[]) this.md5Keys.get(md5key);
	}
	/**
	 * @return Returns the secretKey.
	 */
	public SecretKey getSecretKey()
	{
		return secretKey;
	}
	/**
	 * @param secretKey The secretKey to set.
	 */
	public void setSecretKey(SecretKey secretKey)
	{
		this.secretKey =3D secretKey;
	}
=09
	public QueryCryptUser(String sessionid, SecretKey key)
	{
		super();
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
		secretKey =3D key;
		sessionID =3D sessionid;
	}

Okay, good (sort of). If it was only failing on one-node shutdown, it
would be much messier to track this down. Instead, this one attribute
(or perhaps more) are simply failing to replicate properly.

Do you have <distributable/> set in your web.xml? If not, you should
enable this. Doing so should cause an IllegalArgumentException to be
thrown if you try to put something into the session that isn't
Serializable.

Note that the above statement only apples to values explicitly stored in
the session. This, for instance, will cause an error:

HttpSession session =3D request.getSession(true);
session.put("someKey", new NonSerializableClass());

...while this will not:

HttpSession session =3D request.getSession(true);
HashMap map =3D new HashMap();
map.put("someOtherKey", new NonSerializableClass());
session.put("someKey", map);

so, you have to be careful that the full object trees you put into your
session are serializable in their entirety. You could write a filter
that checks all this if you wanted to.

Well, javax.crypto.SecretKey is not itself required to be serializable,
but one of its implementations, SecretKeySpec, /is/ marked as
Serializable. Any idea what kind of object you actually have?

Well, would you be comfortable putting the key text itself into the
session? The key text itself should just be a byte[] which you could
convert to char[] in a number of ways if you'd like to make it (human)
readable.

I agree with Pid's question: why is the array static? ...and what it is
static to?

Clearly, your QueryCryptUser object needs to be Serializable, so you
should really focus on that, I think. You can encapsulate the logic to
serialize your SecretKey object within your QueryCryptUser class.

Can you post some or all of the QueryCryptUser class code?

Are you getting any errors in your log files when these objects are
serialized? It might help alot to see what the JVM is refusing to
serialize.
