    Jboss 7.x - HA Web Sessions via Database Persistence with Oracle

    techtalk

      Hello Everyone,

       

      Refering to the article : https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HAWebSessionsViaDatabasePersistence   where it describes to achieve data persistence for jboss 5.x.

       

      I would like to achieve the same but with Jboss 7.x. Since there are various changes in structure from AS5 to AS7, I am not sure how should I configure it. I have some problems.

       

      1. There is no Context.xml in jboss 7.x, Not sure where should I use <Manager> and <Store> tags .

      2. There is no module defined for class org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.session.persistent.DataSourcePersistentManager in AS7 as given in the article for AS5.

      3. Somewhere in comments below the article, its written I can use jboss-web.xml for AS7. Again, I am not sure how should my jboss-web.xml should look-like/ contain.

       

      Any help regarding this will be appreciated !

       

      Thanks & Regards

          I was expecting a reply

          Anyway.. I found this link http://mastertheboss.com/jboss-application-server/432-develop-a-clustered-application-with-infinispan-data-grid.html?start=1 and now trying to implement the same (using injection). But I am getting this error at the end (with out any stack trace). I am using jboss 7.0.2 bunddled with liferay 6.1 EE.

           

          ERROR [org.jboss.as.deployment] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) {"Composite operation failed and was rolled back. Steps that failed:" => {"Operation step-2" => "Operation handler failed to complete"}}

           

          Here is my cache container placed under <Subsystem> of standalone.xml

           

          <cache-container name="cluster" default-cache="dist">
                  <alias>cluster </alias>
                  <transport lock-timeout="60000"/>
                  <distributed-cache owners="3" mode="ASYNC" name="dist" batching="true">
                              <file-store/>
                  </distributed-cache>
          </cache-container>
          

           

           

          I have a Oracle datasource

           

          <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/LiferayPool_test" pool-name="OracleDS" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
                              <connection-url>
                                  jdbc:oracle:thin:@<myaddress>:XE
                              </connection-url>
                              <driver>
                                  oracle
                              </driver>
                              <transaction-isolation>
                                  TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED
                              </transaction-isolation>
                              <pool>
                                  <prefill>
                                      true
                                  </prefill>
                                  <use-strict-min>
                                      false
                                  </use-strict-min>
                                  <flush-strategy>
                                      FailingConnectionOnly
                                  </flush-strategy>
                              </pool>
                              <security>
                                  <user-name>
                                      username
                                  </user-name>
                                  <password>
                                     password
                                  </password>
                              </security>
           </datasource>
          

           

          This is how I am invoking the cache

           

          @Resource(lookup="java:jboss/infinispan/container/cluster")
              private CacheContainer container;  
          

           

           

          Secondaly, I also tried without using injection, as expalined in comments of this link ( https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Getting+Started+Guide+-+JBoss+AS+7 ), like this

           

          InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
             CacheContainer cc = (CacheContainer) ic.lookup("java:jboss/infinispan/container/cluster");
             Cache<String, Object> cache = cc.getCache();
          

           

          But in this case I got this error:

           

          ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-4)     java.lang.IllegalStateException

          ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-4)    at org.jboss.msc.value.InjectedValue.getValue(InjectedValue.java:47)

          ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-4)    at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl.getValue(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1216)

           

           

          Could experts please guide what I am doing wrong. I am new to liferay and jboss 7. Thanks for the help !

              To enable session persistence to a database:

              1. Configure your datasource.  See https://community.jboss.org/wiki/DataSourceConfigurationInAS7

              2. Assuming you're using an HA profile (e.g. standalone-ha.xml), change the default cache of the "web" cache container within the infinispan subsystem to use an invalidation-cache configured with a shared write-through jdbc cache store using the datasource defined in step 1.

              e.g.

              {code:xml}<cache-container name="web" default-cache="database" module="org.jboss.as.clustering.web.infinispan">

                <invalidation-cache name="database" mode="ASYNC" batching="true">

                  <key-based-jdbc-store datasource="java:jboss/datasources/LiferayPool_test" passivation="false" purge="false" shared="true"/>

                </invalidation-cache>

              </cache-container>{code}

              3. Make sure your web application's web.xml declares itself as <distributable/>.

                Paul, Manish was specifically asking about creating HA web sessions.  In your comment you make mention of using a non-HA profile.  Will the configuration you mention properly manage sessions when two non-HA profiles are pointed at the same database and therefore achieve HA web sessions?  For example would JBoss instance A recognize changes to the database and therefore the active session made by JBoss instance B?  If a session is started on instance A and the user gets bounced to instance B and then logs out invalidating the session, will the session get cleaned up on instance A?

                  Thanks Paul for the reply... getting following error with Jboss 7.0.2 and 7.1.1 ..

                   

                  Message: JBAS014788: Unexpected attribute 'module' encountered.

                   

                  Pls let me know which version supports the module tag.

                    The module attribute is new to the 1.3 version of the infinispan subsystem schema (found in 7.1.2.Final).  For older versions - you should omit this attribute.

                      Hi Paul,

                       

                      Even the key-based-jdbc-store is not supporting in 7.1.1 and below versions. I cannt swithc to 7.1.2 as it is not avaialble for downloads.

                      Could you please give me a code which suits/works for 7.1.1 or 7.0.2.

                       

                      Thanks

                        <key-based-jdbc-store/> was called <jdbc-store/> in 7.1.1 and earlier.

                        To use 7.1.2, download and build the source code from here: https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/zipball/7.1.2.Final

                          Ben,

                          You're right - configuring HA web sessions in this way is not quite as robust as the traditional replication approach.  A shared database session store *requires* sticky sessions (this is not a requirement for replicated sessions) - so the kind of bouncing you're talking about would only occur if the instance A was actually unavailable (crash, undeploy, restart, etc.), thus instance A would no longer know about the session in question and would look for it in the database, and when not found, assume it does not exist (or was invalidated).

                            Actually, you can eliminate the sticky session requirement by using an <invalidation-cache/> instead of a <local-cache/>.  This, of course, would require that you use an HA-aware profile (e.g. standalone-ha.xml).

                              As per your suggestions I am using <invalidation-cache> in standalone-ha.xml... I am getting below error..
