ColdFusion Session Replication Across Physical Servers

Question

Can I get details for session replication across physical servers with Coldfusion 8?

Answer 1

Not sure what you're asking for, so here is a link from a Google search: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=clustering_6.html

If you want a better answer, you'll need to improve your question.

Answer 2

A more specific question would be nice, but it seems you are asking about replication of the session scope across clustered servers. The answer is that yes you can do this, but it requires ColdFusion Enterprise.

Here is a white paper from Adobe on the topic:

And here is another article talking in more detail about how to set it up:

If this doesn't answer your question let us know.

Answer 3

One other thing to consider - railo has a cluster scope option. Maybe railo isn't an option but the cluster scope would provide a similar feature to what you are asking for.

Answer 4

What about using a shared location to store your sessions, such as memcached or maybe even the DB?
