Hi,

please do not mix up the tomcat cluster and apache load balancing.
Sticky session means that tomcat2 is not used at all in your configuration. 
Only tomcat1, which created the cookie.

When tomcat2 creates no session, the browser gets none and the lb-worker 
cannot work also. Maybe your apps/configurations are not consistent?

Again: when tomcat does not create a session, this has nothing to do with 
mod_jk. Not the request starts a session, tomcat does it!

regards,

Reinhard
