Hi Edgar, Yep I just noticed that too :)) However, correcting this configuration (to the below) does nothing to resolve the issue, because the lb worker type by default has sticky_session=1. I set it explicitly anyway as below.
However, I have noticed that in fact Tomcat 2 is not returning JSESSIONID headers as Tomcat 1 does when both Tomcats are in. To recap then, when only Tomcat 1 is in the loop, JSESSIONIDs are returned and remains consistent across requests. When Tomcat 2 is brought in, Tomcat 1 starts generating a different JSESSIONID per request, whilst Tomcat 2 returns no JSESSIONID at all.

That's not how it works. That property is valid only for the loadbalancer and it takes a boolean value. Set it to 'True' or '1' to get the desired effect. Read http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/config/workers.html for more info. -- Edgar Alves Allistair Crossley wrote: > Hi, > > I have setup 2 Tomcats on the same machine fronted by IIS, and used a > sticky_session=1 JK (1.2.15) load-balanced setup (as printed at the > foot of this email) > > I setup a JSP on both Tomcats that outputs the session ID. > > With only 1 Tomcat started, making requests to the JSP results in the > same session ID being output on each request. > > When I start up the 2nd Tomcat and continue making requests to the > JSP, I am switched between both Tomcats rather than staying on the > same Tomcat and therefore acquire a new session ID. > > However, with the 2 Tomcat's "in the loop" the session Ids become > different *per request* no matter which Tomcat is used. > > I would have expected at most 2 unique session Ids (one per Tomcat) > since with 1 Tomcat running only, the 1 unique session ID is maintained. > > > I would appreciate any help or guidance as to why this may be happening. > Cookies are enabled, and jsessionid is not being used on URLs. > > Cheers, Allistair. > > == config == > > worker.list=loadbalancer > > worker.tomcat1.port=8009 > worker.tomcat1.host=localhost > worker.tomcat1.type=ajp13 > worker.tomcat1.lbfactor=1 > worker.tomcat1.cachesize=10 > worker.tomcat1.sticky_session=1 > > worker.tomcat2.port=8109 > worker.tomcat2.host=localhost > worker.tomcat2.type=ajp13 > worker.tomcat2.lbfactor=1 > worker.tomcat2.cachesize=10 > worker.tomcat1.sticky_session=2 > > worker.loadbalancer.type=lb > worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=tomcat1,tomcat2 > > > <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="VERDANA,ARIAL" COLOR=BLUE> > ------------------------------------------------------- > QAS Ltd. > Registered in England: No 2582055 > Registered in Australia: No 082 851 474 > ------------------------------------------------------- > </FONT> <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="VERDANA,ARIAL" COLOR=BLACK> > Disclaimer: The information contained within this e-mail is confidential and may be privileged.
