<p>A cluster manager is an extension to Tomcat's session manager interface,
<code>org.apache.catalina.Manager</code>.
A cluster manager must implement the
<code>org.apache.catalina.ha.ClusterManager</code> and is solely responsible
for how the session is replicated.<br>
There are currently two different managers, the
<code>org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager</code> replicates deltas of
session data to all members in the cluster. This implementation is proven and
works very well, but has a limitation as it requires the cluster members to be
homogeneous, all nodes must deploy the same applications and be exact
replicas. The <code>org.apache.catalina.ha.session.BackupManager</code> also
replicates deltas but only to one backup node. The location of the backup node
is known to all nodes in the cluster. It also supports heterogeneous
deployments, so the manager knows at what locations the web application is
deployed.</p>

implementation on a per web application basis, by putting the
