Improve documentation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For 1.0 there must be basic documentation: how to install and configure
this session manager.

Things to cover:
- meaning of failoverNodes
- required dependencies (additional to released pom)
- tips for (integration) testing
- how to keep msm quit (for development mode without memcacheds)

Thanx to Carsten Luckmann for this feedback :)

And a link to the spy-memcached logging would be useful
(http://code.google.com/p/spymemcached/wiki/Logging)

Add info/examples regarding the requestUriIgnorePattern

Add info on application requirements:
- response must not be committed/closed if memcached-failover shall be 
supported, as 
this needs to write the cookie to the response at the end of the request 
processing.

The last one (Comment #4) is not valid anymore, because we have the commit hook 
in 
place.

Mostly done, minor improments (e.g. logging hints) will be added later.

Hi Martin,

Inspired by the diagram "scenario1.svg" in "doc" folder, I've written a 
document describing this session fail-over solution; first of all because I was 
not convinced I must admit. but I am now.
Is the project interested by such contribution ?

Regards

Definitely, really cool! Drawing some nice stuff is on my list since a long 
time but everytime I tried I was frustrated of my bad drawing skills :-)

You can just attach the image here and I put it to the wiki, ok?

I'm not familiar with google code wiki.
I wrote the document under libreoffice. More, some part are still draft.
Maybe you'd like to review it before sharing and maybe it could be 'ported' to 
the wiki.
I attach a pdf version here.
Tell me.

Cool, this looks like an real in-depth work/analysis! Wouldn't you like to 
publish this on your behalf (as a blog post e.g., or via slideshare.net), and 
we link to it from the wiki? I think the graphics are great to put them on the 
home page to visualize memcached/tomcat failover (perhaps slightly modified). 
What do you think?

Hi, sorry for the two months delay. It is not that I have enhanced the document 
a lot. But I've found a location to host it It can be found here 
http://blog.fiveinthewood.com/it/tomcat-session-failover/
I'll be pleased of a review and continue the discussion.
