Glassfish Cluster and Hardware Load Balancer

Hi:

We are in the process to migrate a cluster JEE
application from Tomcat 5.5.x to Glassfish.

Tomcat 5.5.x uses and all-to-all (problems to scale,
by the way) in memory session replication strategy
that allows that all the cluster members have a copy
on the HttpSession. Taken that into account we have
configured the Hardware Load Balancer in a round robin
way

Our intention is to employ Glassfish memory
replication for clustering HttpSession’s. Glassfish
does not make a copy of the session in all cluster
nodes, so what is the optimum configuration for the
Load Balancer. Is it better to configure it to allow
that all the requests in a single session should be
managed by the same cluster member? Do you have any
additional advice regarding this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Evaristo
