Documentation

When shutting down servers, sessions are not updated. If the primary and secondary servers of a session are shut down with no session updates, the session will be lost. Turning on PersistSessionsOnShutdown will save any active sessions to the database specified in ClusterMBean#getDataSourceForSessionPersistence() when a server is shutdown. The sessions will not be written at any other time. (For example, they are not saved via this mechanism if there is a server crash.)

This attribute is applicable both to session persistence on server shutdown or session persistence across a WAN.

Rolling upgrade can potential have a bad interaction with traditional in-memory session replication. As managed servers are shutdown and upgraded, in-memory servlet sessions will be lost if both primary and secondary are rebooted before a new request arrives for the session.

Privileges: Read/Write

Redeploy or Restart required: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
