Hi I am using the balance mechanism of the apache (mod_jk) with a number of tomcats. Generally, the JSESSIONID cookie (with the tomcat name extention) help me direct consequent user requests to the same tomcat, as expected. However, when the user open another browser window (no matter if the previous window is still opened or closed/crashed), I want this window to communicate with the same tomcat as the previous window. But the new window does not contain the JSESSIONID cookie, so its first request may be directed by the apache to a different tomcat. I know which tomcat the user last communicated with (I hold that information in a persistent cookie); the question is how to make the new window access the same tomcat as well. Creating my own JSESSIONID cookie not necessarily helps (I tried that), and I dont know how the mod_jk works with more than one JSESSIONID cookie. Any suggestions? Thanks - Boaz
