Load balancers and shared memory

[Rakesh Ray]

Hi, there.

Can the same servlet deployed on two separate application server on separate machines share the common memory area?

If I write a simple servlet that increaments a static variable and prints it in the browser and deploye it on two saperate application servers as mentioned above.
Is it possible that irrespective of which Appl. server I am going to hit I will see the same static variable?

Maybe. Websphere could share in memory sessions between servers.
