Hi all,

 

While developing Tomcat based application for mobile phone, I have found out that the lack of cookies support in WAP phones, will not let me run my servlets on Tomcat load balance configuration.

In order to point Apache to two tomcats, I needed the apache to use the jvmRoute section in the cookie to route the requests back to the original Tomcat (using mod_jk).

 

Since the urls in the wml has written using the encodeurl function that does not support adding the ‘.jvmRoute’ to the url, the followed requests come from the user without specifying the origin Tomcat (since there are no cookies).

 

In order to fix that I have written RequestInterceptor to allow URL session support to work with multiple Tomcat configuration.

To use that you must REPLACE the SessionInterceptor with the new interceptor. Here is that part of server.xml:

 

<!--

     Commented out by Shai Fultheim to enable url session interceptor.

        <RequestInterceptor

            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.SessionInterceptor" />

 

-->

        <RequestInterceptor

            className="org.apache.tomcat.session.URLSessionInterceptor"

         debug="1" />

 

The interceptor is  part of session package in order to use the (StandartSession.)encodeUrl.

 

The interceptor source file attached. Source Code below:
