1.vim tomcat/conf/server.xml

    remove comment  <!--<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="tomcat1">-->

    add comment <!--    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">-->

 

    add a cluster after <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="tomcat1">

 2.add <distributable/> to the web.xml of the webapp context

 3. notice that all the session object should implment seriabable interace
