Orbeon session portability

Hello!
I have encountered a problem trying to integrate Orbeon forms to updated Tolven EHR v 2.1. Tolven uses Apache Shiro security framework with their custom implementation. Among other features, their implementation requires session to be portable to support multiple-server installation. And session attributes are serialized/deserialized on every request.
But attributes Orbeon stores in session not all serializable and it makes impossible to render forms now. In particular the problem is with attribute containing org.orbeon.oxf.xforms.state.XFormsStateManager$1.

I thought configuring XForms state to be stored on client may help, but specifying
<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.xforms.state-handling" value="client"/>
gives no visible effect.

I use Orbeon Forms 3.9.0.201105152046 CE build.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Andrey,

This is something to improve in the future, but there is no way around
it at this point: you need sticky sessions, and session data can't be
replicated.

Re: Orbeon session portability

Thank you for the reply.
Anyway, I need to find a walkaround.

And is this improvement planned for future (nearest?) releases?

Andrey,

At this point I can't say it's planned. If somebody sponsors this work
that can change though.
