Web Session Replication Plugins
You can use Hazelcast to replicate your web session in a number of environments.
Filter Based Web Session Replication (Hazelcast Web Manager (WM))
This plugin (a.k.a. Generic Web Session Replication) provides HTTP session replication capabilities across a Hazelcast cluster in order to handle failover cases. Assuming you have multiple web servers with load balancers; if one server goes down, your users on that server are directed to one of the other live servers, but their sessions are not lost. Using this plugin backs up these HTTP sessions; it clusters them automatically.
See the Filter Based Web Session Replication documentation for more details.
Tomcat Based Web Session Replication
Tomcat based web session replication is offered through Hazelcast Tomcat Session Manager. It is a container specific module that enables session replication for JEE Web Applications without requiring changes to the application.
