Dezember 2001 18:26 An: Tomcat Developers List Betreff: Re: Configuring Multiple Tomcat JVMs with Apache - Load Balancing Keep in mind that with distributed sessions (coming soon to a tomcat near you), affinity is no longer 'required' in order to function. This provides the added benefit of fail-over. Affinity is still desirable for performance reasons. However, the if the Tomcat instance that created the session is brought down, the user needn't be affected. Apache should notice this and route subsequent requests (for the affected sessions) to another TC instance in the cluster. The other TC instances will either already have a copy of the session or can retrieve it from a 'repository'.

URL rewriting is the issue - the session id ( i.e. what | will be sent on the next request ) will end up inside html pages, where | mod_jk can't 'rewrite' it. And adding a cookie will fail if no cookies | are available ( again where url rewriting will be used ). | | The session id that a servlet sees must have the vmroute in it. | | | Costin | | | -- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aus Rechts- und Sicherheitsgruenden ist die in dieser E-Mail gegebene Information nicht rechtsverbindlich.
