Hello together,

I recently ran into an issue which probably has nothing to do with tomcat. But 
because I don't know how to get rid of it
or what the cause for this issue is I want to make sure that I have taken all 
chances.

Just a short architecture overview.

We have a Loadbalancer which roundrobin addresses 2 Apache 2.2. which passes 
their requests via mod_proxy balancer to 2
tomcat 5.5.26 servers which are configured identical and have also clustering 
enabled. The application is located only on the tomcats.

So what we have is a redirected response from a failed login process.
As example we have an login mask and while tryinig to login we put the username 
"Tester" in the username inputfield
send the form away and get a login error message and the following URL string:
http://mytestsystem/login.action?login_error=1&u=Tester
In the input field the value Tester is still set.

This result is as expected, but from time to time we saw the following URL 
string returned
http://mytestsystem/login.action?login_error=1&u=OtherUser although we sent the 
form
with Tester as value away. But now in the input field it is also OtherUser set.

We have checked Loadbalancer rewrites(possible Proxywrites) and fount nothing. 
The behaviour seem to appear if we
have much load on these systems. Does anybody have any idea where I should 
start my investigation.
I would assume the application does have a problem with session handling or a 
corruptable redirection method but
the developer told us everything is fine.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely
