Hi Two machines bml0065 and bml0066. Both have OSX 10.6.6, Tomcat 7.0.10, mod_jk 1.2.31, and httpd2.2.17. bml0065 is the reverse proxy.
I am following this test plan with the examples/servlets/servlet/SessionExample as the webapp. <nyissz> Scenario - tc65, tc66 are running in a cluster. 1 Remove tc66 from a cluster while people are using the application. - Shut down tc66 by logging into the machine as administrator and issue the sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh commad. - sudo cp /usr/local/tomcat/conf/no-cluster.xml /usr/local/conf/server.xml. - Start up tc66 by issuing: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh 2. Access it directly with http://bml0066.yalepathorg/examples/servlets/servlet/SessionExample. Access management console and stop/remove the application. Deploy a new version of the application. 3. Ask users to use an alternative link to that App. - http://host/app 4. Let it run for some time. 5. Add this new application to the cluster in such a way that the new application is now deployed - Shut down tc66: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh - sudo cp /usr/local/tomcat/conf/cluster.xml /usr/local/conf/server.xml. - Start up tomcat by issuing: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh 6. Take other tomcat tc65 out of the cluster. - Shut down tc65 by logging into the machine as administrator and issue the sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh commad. - copy the /usr/local/tomcat/conf/no-cluster.xml to /usr/local/conf/server.xml. - Start up tomcat by issuing: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh 7. Deploy the new app on it while users seamlessly switch to tc66 8. Add tc65 back to the cluster. - Shut down tomcat: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh - sudo cp /usr/local/tomcat/conf/cluster.xml /usr/local/conf/server.xml. - Start up tomcat by issuing: sudo /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh 9. Now all apps are in sync on both tomcat instance. <nyassz> It works fine untill step 6. When I bring back tc65 as a standalone tomcat with no jvmRoute in its engine block and the Cluster tag is commented out, then when I try to access it via the URL: http://bml0065.yalepath.org/examples/servlets/servlet/SessionExample it hijacks the clustered session. Here is what is on the screen after adding two new session attribute with its value: <nyissz> Sessions Example Session ID: 480C796251BF44355C44FDB0EF4B5AFD.tc66 Created: Fri Apr 15 12:20:40 EDT 2011 Last Accessed: Fri Apr 15 12:44:04 EDT 2011 The following data is in your session: s4 = tc65 up tc66 still standalone s2 = still standalone s9 = tc65 standalone tc66 up s8 = tc65 down, tc66 up s1 = standalone s7 = tc65 down, tc66 up s5 = tc65 up tc66 down s6 = both are up s3 = tc65 up tc66 no cluster <nyassz> It should have come up without the .tc66 affix and with a different sessionid and should have just he s2 = still standalone s1 = standalone attribute names and values. I did not have this issue when tc66 was in its standalone mode. Compared it with the real clustered session accessed via the URL: http://bml0065.yalepath.org/tc/examples/servlets/servlet/SessionExample <nyissz> Session ID: 480C796251BF44355C44FDB0EF4B5AFD.tc66 Created: Fri Apr 15 12:20:40 EDT 2011 Last Accessed: Fri Apr 15 12:42:30 EDT 2011 The following data is in your session: s4 = tc65 up tc66 still standalone s2 = tc65 up tc66 down s9 = tc65 standalone tc66 up s8 = tc65 down, tc66 up s1 = standalone s7 = tc65 down, tc66 up s5 = tc65 up tc66 down s6 = both are up s3 = tc65 up tc66 no cluster <nyassz> Here is the reverse proxy config: ProxyRequests Off <Proxy balancer://pathCluster> BalancerMember http://bml0065.yalepath.org loadfactor=10 BalancerMember http://bml0066.yalepath.org loadfactor=10 ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic </Proxy> ProxyPass /tc/ balancer://pathCluster/ ProxyPassReverse /tc/ balancer://pathCluster/ ProxyPassReverseCookiePAth / / ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain / / Thanks ahead, János --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
