The following sections outline the planning considerations for each. Note: Before finishing your session management planning, review the article Sessions in the Information Center at the following Web page: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/topic/com.ibm. websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/cprs_sess.html Application design Although using session information is a convenient method for the developer, this usage should be minimized. Only objects really needed for processing of subsequent requests should be stored in the session. If sessions are persisted during runtime, there is a performance impact if the session data is too big. Session tracking mechanism You can choose to use cookies, URL rewriting, SSL session IDs, or a combination of these as the mechanism for managing session IDs. Cookies Using cookies as a session tracking mechanism is common. WebSphere session management generates a unique session ID and returns it to the user’s Web browser to be stored as a cookie. URL rewriting URL rewriting requires the developer to use special encoding APIs and to set up the site page flow to avoid losing the encoded information. The session identifier is stored in the page returned to the user. WebSphere encodes the session identifier as a parameter on URLs that have been encoded programmatically by the Web application developer. URL rewriting can only be used for pages that are dynamically generated for each request, such as pages generated by servlets or JSPs. If a static page is used in the session flow the session information is lost. URL rewriting forces the site designer to plan the user’s flow in the site to avoid losing their session ID. SSL ID tracking With SSL ID tracking, SSL session information is used to track the session ID. Because the SSL session ID is negotiated between the Web browser and an HTTP server, it cannot survive an HTTP server failure. However, the failure of an application server does not affect the SSL session ID. In environments that use WebSphere components with multiple HTTP servers, you must use an affinity mechanism for the Web servers when SSL session ID is used as the session tracking mechanism. 262 WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Concepts, Planning, and Design
Note: SSL tracking is supported in IBM HTTP Server. Session tracking using the SSL ID is deprecated in WebSphere Application Server V7.0 When the SSL session ID is used as the session tracking mechanism in a clustered environment, either cookies or URL rewriting must be used to maintain session affinity. The cookie or rewritten URL contains session affinity information that enables the Web server to properly route requests back to the same server after the HTTP session has been created on a server. The SSL ID is not sent in the cookie or rewritten URL but is derived from the SSL information. The main disadvantage of using SSL ID tracking is the performance degradation due to the SSL overhead. If you have a business requirement to use SSL, this is probably a good choice. Selecting multiple tracking mechanisms It is possible to combine multiple options for a Web application. ► Use of SSL session identifiers has preference to cookie and URL rewriting. ► Use of cookies has preference to URL rewriting. If selecting SSL session ID tracking, we suggest that you also select cookies or URL rewriting so that session affinity can be maintained. The cookie or rewritten URL contains session affinity information enabling the Web server to properly route a session back to the same server for each request. Storage of session-related information You can choose whether to store the session data as follows: ► Local sessions (non-persistent) ► Database persistent sessions ► Memory-to-memory replicated persistent sessions The last two options allow session data to be accessed by multiple servers and should be considered when planning for failover. Using a database or session replication is also called session persistence. Storing session data external to the system can have drawbacks in performance. The amount of impact depends on the amount of session data, the method chosen, and the performance and capacity of the external storage. Session management implements caching optimizations to minimize the impact of accessing the external storage, especially when consecutive requests are routed to the same application server.
