Re: mod_jk as a load balancer - Am I missing something obvious?

[Antonio Fiol Bonnín]

Thank you, Dave.

Do jvmRoutes need to have the same name as the workers?

Yes, they do.

Then that means I cannot have two AJP connectors on each Tomcat.

Proposed setup is, then:
Worker names are "t1" and "t2"
Load balancer name is "t":
t --> t1, t2
t1 --> tomcat 1 port X (jvmRoute="t1")
t2 --> tomcat 2 port X (jvmRoute="t2")

On Apache I have:
<VirtualHost hostname:80>
...
JkMount /myapp/* t
#was "a"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost hostname:443>
...
JkMount /myapp/* t
#was "b"
</VirtualHost>

Or, if we remove the hassle of load balancing, I can just "JkMount /myapp/* t1", which is what I initially had (several months ago). But then...

How do I get request.isSecure() and request.getScheme() working properly? I.e. How can I detect whether the user is coming in through HTTP or HTTPS? They ALWAYS return "false" and "http" respectively, regardless of what protocol the user used.

Previously, I did it by adding secure="true" scheme="https" to one connector on each Tomcat. Now I cannot, as I only have one connector!!

Thank you for any further guidance.
