Hi there from my experience ... you are barking at the wrong tree so to speak. it's a long time that I'm not using GWT anymore (not my choice, but i had to) but i don't think that it's GWT's problem
to check the jsessionid you could use the Chrome's developer tools o firefox - firebug and look at the network tab there you should see the headers sent to the back-end (the jsessionid should be present in a cookie or in the request). anyway you said mod_jk that says to me that you have an Apache HTTPD before the Tomcat I usually use mod_proxy_ajp (which i would recommend, but about that we could talk some other time) a very important thing when implementing load balancing it's the jvmRoute parameter on the tomcat. In every tomcat you shold edit in the server.xml the line saying <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> adding the an attribute jvmRoute, with a string at your discretion but different for every server. <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="t1"> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="t2"> ... that makes the Tomcat add that little string at the end of the jsessionid (* jsessionid*=AS348AF929FK219CKA9FK3B79870H would become *jsessionid*=AS348AF929FK219CKA9FK3B79870H.t1 on the first server t1 and so on). that little string there says to the Apache on which node the session was created and therefore where it should send the request. from what I've understand from reading this http://blogs.encodo.ch/news/view_article.php?id=18 looks like the jvmRoute value should be the same as the worker name or/and vice-versa. that's about it, hope it helped See ya On Wednesday, March 27, 2013 3:32:25 PM UTC+1, xsee wrote: > > You don't even need a filter or set the cookie yourself.
