java.lang.IllegalStateException: getAttribute: Session already invalidated

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: No Longer Reproducible
• Affects Version/s: 6.2.X EE, 7.0.0 DXP SP2, Master
• Fix Version/s: Master
• Component/s: Fault Tolerance, Fault Tolerance > Clustering Framework
• Labels: None
• Story Points: 1.5
• Fix Priority: 3

Steps to reproduce - environment setup

1. Download and install attached login-liferay.zip script:
   • Unzip file to a empty folder
   • Install node.js and npm if necessary
   • Execute npm install
2. Configure Liferay cluster with two tomcat nodes.
3. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml of each node and configure the tcp ports to "8080" and "8180"
4. Activate session replication at tomcat level:
   1. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml of each node and inside Engine tag, add following text:

      <Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"/>
      

   2. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml of each node and inside Context tag, add following text:

          <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager"
                   expireSessionsOnShutdown="false"
                   notifyListenersOnReplication="true"/>
      

   3. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml and immediately following the <web-app> tag, add the tag <distributable />
   4. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/logging.properties and add the following lines.

      ##CLUSTER LOG
      5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.level = FINER
      5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
      5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.prefix = cluster.
      
      # just the clustering logs - all others are stock logging.properties
      org.apache.catalina.tribes.MESSAGES.level = FINE
      org.apache.catalina.tribes.MESSAGES.handlers = 5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler
      
      org.apache.catalina.tribes.level = FINE
      org.apache.catalina.tribes.handlers = 5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler
      
      org.apache.catalina.ha.level = FINE
      org.apache.catalina.ha.handlers = 5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler
      
      org.apache.catalina.ha.deploy.level = INFO
      org.apache.catalina.ha.deploy.handlers = 5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler
      

   5. Also add 5cluster.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler to handlers line at the beggining of the file.

Steps to reproduce - using login-liferay.zip script

1. Start first tomcat node
2. Verify you can login from browser using URL: http://localhost:8080/web/guest
3. In a new console, execute login-liferay script, in order to generate new sessions and force replication to second node
   • 6.2.x:

     node login-liferay.js -u [e-mail] -p test --url "http://localhost:8080/web/guest" --num_threads 6 --num_executions 1000 --version 62
     

   • 7.0.x / master:

     node login-liferay.js -u [e-mail] -p test --url "http://localhost:8080/web/guest" --num_threads 6 --num_executions 1000 --version 70
     

4. Start second tomcat node:
   • Correct behavior: First node starts successfully
   • Wrong behavior: Second node starts but following error is continuously displayed
