Perhaps it would be better to subclass AccessLogValve to add this functionality? Then you could contribute your class to the tomcat project and users of the normal AccessLogValve wouldn't need to know anything (or depend on) Spread. >somewhat figure out where it came from, but I run into problems when I have >multiple Tomcats load-balanced by mod_jk serving the same virtual hosts. >The easiest way then to tell where it came from seems to be to use the >jvmRouteId any other, better, more easily obtained, unique identifier I can >use? The combination of host name and jvmRouteId is decent. Would %A (local IP address) in the access log work for you? I'm assuming your load-balanced servers have different IP addresses even if they share the virtual hosts.
