> We often do rolling releases by disabling (DIS) some worker in jkmanager,
> waiting for a few minutes for most sessions to go away (we use sticky
> sessions but not forced), upgrading it, and re-enabling it. This worked
> perfectly with mod_jk 1.2.30. The server is rather busy (order of 100-200
> req/s going to tomcat).

> However, with mod_jk 1.2.37, the activation state behaves erratically. Say I
> disable worker1 on all apache servers via jkmanager. When I go back to the
> jkmanager overview screen, it still shows as active. I hit reload, now it
> shows as disabled. I can wait for a few seconds or minutes, reload, and
> suddenly it shows up as active again! It keeps switching back and forth
> between active and disabled if I reload often enough. Afterwards I usually
> have to set it to active a few times to make it stick there. This happens on
> all apache servers independently.
>
> And more worringly, the load on the worker does not decrease, not even after
> waiting for half an hour or longer (with 1.2.30, the load on a worker
> decreased to about 5% after 5-10 minutes).
>
> When I set a worker to stopped, the activation state also switches between
> active and stopped, the load on the worker goes down slowly, but the
> requests do not cease completely. With 1.2.30, I could set a worker to
> stopped and it instantaneously received no more requests.
>
> Other than that, mod_jk behaves as expected (e.g. if I shut down one of the
> tomcats, the requests go to the other; load balancing works fine in normal
> operation).
