WebLogic Cluster

Before You Start

You have to configure the following setting for ZK and Weblogic.

zk.xml

• Turn on Serializable UI Factory for ZK, please refer to this documentation.

<zk>
	<system-config>
		<ui-factory-class>org.zkoss.zk.ui.http.SerializableUiFactory</ui-factory-class>
	</system-config>
	<!-- clustering environment, since ZK 5.0.8-->
	<listener>
		<listener-class>org.zkoss.zkplus.cluster.ClusterSessionPatch</listener-class>
	</listener>
</zk>

weblogic.xml

• Add a weblogic.xml under XXX/WEB-INF folder(XXX is like ZKsandbox in the war file)

For example,

<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN"
 "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic810-web-jar.dtd">

<weblogic-web-app>
  <session-descriptor>
    <session-param>
      <param-name>PersistentStoreType</param-name>
      <param-value>replicated</param-value>
    </session-param>
  </session-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>

For Weblogic version 12c

<wls:weblogic-web-app
	xmlns:wls="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

	<wls:session-descriptor>
		<wls:persistent-store-type>replicated</wls:persistent-store-type>
	</wls:session-descriptor>
</wls:weblogic-web-app>

As mentioned in Weblogic's document

replicated — Same as memory, but session data is replicated across the clustered servers.
