Hi,
We usually stick to uhm, sticky sessions for the UI, but most servers have
some proprietary feature to cluster the http session. Mojarra even has a
number of tests for this for the GlassFish specific case.
State improvements in general were put on the agenda for JSF 2.3, but
because of various reasons nothing was actually done for it this cycle.
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
