The set of worker names is one-to-one and onto the set of jvmRoutes. I use the short host name, an underscore and the port number (ajp), i.e.,
Tomcat1_9009 Tomcat2_10009 Tomcat3_11009 Tomcat4_12009 For the worker names and the jvm routes, thus making the identifiers unique, and following the 1:1 and onto rule. -----Original Message----- From: Rumpa Giri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 3:51 PM To: Tomcat UserGroup Subject: question on jvmRoute parameter (tomcat version 5.0.28) According to the 5.0 docs, the jvmRoute description says the following: "Identifier which must be used in load balancing scenarios to enable session affinity. The indetifier, which must be unique across all Tomcat 5 servers which participate in the cluster, will be appended to the generated session identifier, therefore allowing the front end proxy to always forward a particular session to the same Tomcat 5 instance." In the worker.properties(5.0) the worker_name correspond to the jvmRoute. we specify the worker names who participate in the loadbalancing. such as worker.loadbalancer.type=lb worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=server1, server2, server3, server4, server5, server6, server7, server8, server9, server10, server11, server12 worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1 worker.loadbalancer.local_worker_only=1 when you say "which must be unique across all Tomcat 5 servers which participate in the cluster" do you mean the all the worker names hence the jvmRoute should be unique? Currently we have: server1 through server4 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances. server5 through server8 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances. server9 through server12 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances.
