Abstract
A system and method can support one-way Remote Method Invocation (RMI) session replication in a middleware machine environment, such as a server cluster. The server cluster can include a primary application server and a secondary application server. The primary application server receives a request with a session from a client, maintain the session information, and replicate the session information to a secondary application server using one-way Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The primary application server can then respond to the client based on the session information after receiving a return message of the one-way RMI from a network socket associate with the primary application server. The benefit of using one-way RMI is that the primary application server does not have to wait for an acknowledgment from the secondary application server instance, since the underlying transport protocol guarantees that the session data has been successfully transmitted to the second server instance.
