Dude, where's my JSESSIONID?

[MrBuzzy]

Hi, I hope this is a simple Q&A...

Does Railo do something funky with the JSESSIONID cookie? (running on Tomcat)
I somewhat expected to see it if I dump the cookie scope, or in firebug, but it's not there.

Thanks.

did you dump session.sessionid and its not there?

I just checked the cookies on my own site and I found a jsessionid

I did.

Interesting, this could be related to the tomcat connector I was
experimenting with.

I will try tomcat direct later and post back.

Thanks.

Aha! The session type was set to 'CFML' in the Railo Server administrator.
I've now changed that to 'J2EE' and I'm getting the expected result.

Which means I can now do sticky sessions and load balancing using the Tomcat/IIS connector. Yay.

(Now to work out what's not able to be serialized for session replication...)

[MrBuzzy]

Going a bit OT now...

This error suggests Railo might be referencing org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade (which is not serliazable).

SEVERE: Unable to serialize delta request for sessionid [BDEAF8C03161867E29024751C8D56BA1.jvmrailo]
java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade
        at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1081)
        at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteFields(ObjectOutputStream.java:1375)

This doens't quite make sense to me. Unless Railo is referencing that class, like this old post suggests;
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomca...@jakarta.apache.org/msg93256.html

I poked around inside Railo making classes implement Serializable but I just couldn't find the culprit. Can anyone suggest where else to look?

Oh, I also added (hacked) welcome file support into Railo mappings :)

Fun night. 2:15am. Yikes.
