Question about Database Backed Storage Service

[Sharma, Dattathreya]

We have to upgrade to Java 7 this year and I am looking at replacing Terracotta. The db plugin seems like a viable solution for us.

The wiki states that "The storage service does not persist the login context information to the database. You must use session affinity during the login process".

Isn't login context stored in the cookie? If the user authenticates and returns to a different node it should work just fine right?


If the database is unavailable, will the back channel attribute query fail (if it goes to a different node) ?


With this plugin, will there be any interruption to the service if I take a node offline? I understood that, at the most user may loose SSO session and have to sign-in again.


Thanks,

Datta
