I am working with a customer to setup load-balancing in a tomcat environment by way of Cisco CSS11501 load-balancing hardware. We are attempting to use the 'advance-balance cookieurl' method of Cisco load-balancing. This will check for a cookie in order to manage session stickiness, but if a user is blocking cookies then it will search the URL for the session information.
The cookie-based load-balancing is working as expected, but when a user is blocking cookies the stickiness fails, and the user is subject to round-robin server assignment. Is anyone running tomcat in a Cisco CSS environment? Can you forward your configuration on to me, especially if you are using the 'advance-balance cookieurl' method? Problems that we are encountering: ----- - Tomcat writes the cookie name in upper-case (JSESSIONID) when using cookies, and in lower-case (jsessionid) when placing the cookie name into the URL. The Cisco CSS is case-sensitive when searching for this string. - Tomcat places the server identification in the URL *before* the "?", and the Cisco CSS searches the URL for the server identification *after* the "?". If it helps to make this any more clear, here is an example URL: - cookie name: jsessionid - server ident: appprod01 http://123.123.123.123/consoles/createSSOLinks.do;jsessionid=1E39A3E747B EDD1C28F9EA87B9B8EF48.appprod01?usn=bob&fn=&ln=&arm=true&otherstuff=&fee t=&inches=&weight=&sup=false&aun=&spl=1&type=BLAH&r= I have spoken to Cisco and they claim to not have a method to overcome this, so I was hoping that someone is running a similar configuration that I may be able learn from. Thanks, - Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
