Hi Gopal

Thank you for your suggestions!

Yes I used the in-memory replication as the session persistence mechanism.

I've also tried the "file" option. However the directory I named remains
empty all the time.:-(
(I named the directory through the Admin Console:
Configurations -> (mycluster-config) -> Web Container -> Store Properties ->
Directory)

The "availability" at the levels of "Web Applications", "Availability
Services" , "Web Container Availability" and "Heartbeat" for my cluster have
all be set. There is <distributable/> in web.xml
Anything else did I miss ?

Is that I still have not activated any replication at all?:confused:

I'm eager to learn if anyone did succeed in getting session failover with a
similar setup?

Thank you very much for any clue!

Wilfred
