Question

we are working on a web application which is developed using Struts 2 Framework. Recently we have moved to Amazon AWS for better service. we are using the Elastic Bean Stalk feature for our Live, Staging, Beta applications. On live & Beta instances, we enable the autoscaling feature from Bean stalk, which on excess load increases the instances, during this process, the already existing user logged in is session timed out, as his session is switching between instances. There fore we are facing the session timeout issue frequently. Please suggest me solutions for this issue.

I know of two options:

• Enable stickiness on the load balancer so all requests by a single user are routed to the same server. Here’s a discussion on that.
• Use a session state server so your session data is not saved on the autoscaled servers
