Right on target. I noticed that it was the emptySessionPath="true" that messed things up for me. When I removed it I got back to the wanted behavior. However, the emptySessionPath is needed since we are using mod_rewrite to change the url:s of the backend application. Otherwise we get a JSessionID with a "/path" rather than "/".
When I removed the emptySessionPath we got back a new cookie with the correct route. When I have it on I get no sessionId back at all. So the solution would be that the root-context and my application should have the same JSESSIONID (is it possible) or I can deploy my applicaiton in the root directory. /Johan Rainer Jung-3 wrote: > > On 18.05.2010 12:35, JohnRiley wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> We are load balancing 3 non-clustered tomcat 6.0 servers with the mod_jk >> connector in apache 2.0.
