I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but I just checked how our stuff is set up here and wondered if you have the jvm route mapped in the server xml for the tomcat instances you want loadbalanced?
<Engine jvmRoute="route_7" name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> Paul -----Original Message----- From: Gabriel Tabares [mailto:gabriel.taba...@roboreus.com] Sent: 30 June 2010 11:17 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Hello and Tomcat issues with sticky sessions Hi everybody, I have been running Tomcat on production for a few years with no problem but now, after moving to a new company, I am completely unable to get session stickyness working. The setup is as follows: Apache 2.2.3 (CentOS 5.4 version) -> Tomcat 6.0.24. I have tried all of mod_proxy, mod_ajp_proxy and mod_jk but, no matter what I do, I can not get Apache to always send the requests to the Tomcat specified in the jsession. Firebug indicates that the JSESSIONID cookie is being set as it should but it still sees requests going to the other server. I have also tried changing the jvmRoute to exactly match the worker name for mod_jk but it still doesn't work. I would appreciate any help, as I am stuck. Here are the configurations I have tried. Obviously, only of them is active at any given time. httpd.conf is the standard one from the CentOS RPM. Tomcats: All of them have a jvmRoute of pub-app0X, where X goes from 1 to 5. mod_proxy ======== proxy.conf ----------- LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so ProxyRequests Off <Proxy balancer://public_web_cluster> Order deny,allow Allow from all BalancerMember http://app01:8080 route=pub-app01 BalancerMember http://app02:8080 route=pub-app02 BalancerMember http://app03:8080 route=pub-app03 BalancerMember http://app04:8080 route=pub-app04 BalancerMember http://app05:8080 route=pub-app05 </Proxy> virtual.conf ------------ LogLevel Debug <VirtualHost 10.1.2.1:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName www.myserver.com ServerAlias myserver.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /appname/ [R] RewriteRule ^$ /appname/ [R] <Location /> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your details" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/htpasswd Require valid-user ProxyPass balancer://public_web_cluster/ stickysession=JSESSIONID lbmethod=byrequests ProxyPassReverse balancer://public_web_cluster/ </Location> </VirtualHost> mod_ajp_proxy =========== mod_proxy_ajp.conf ---------------------- LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so <Proxy balancer://pubLB> BalancerMember ajp://app01:8009/ timeout=5 route=pub-app01 BalancerMember ajp://app02:8009/ timeout=5 route=pub-app02 BalancerMember ajp://app03:8009/ timeout=5 route=pub-app03 BalancerMember ajp://app04:8009/ timeout=5 route=pub-app04 BalancerMember ajp://app05:8009/ timeout=5 route=pub-app05 </Proxy> virtual.conf ----------- ProxyRequests Off <VirtualHost 10.1.2.1:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName www.myserver.com ServerAlias myserver.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ /myapp [R] RewriteRule ^/$ /myapp [R] <Location /> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your details" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/htpasswd Require valid-user ProxyPass balancer://pubLB/ stickysession=JSESSIONID nofailover=on ProxyPassReverse balancer://pubLB/ </Location> </VirtualHost> mod_jk ===== mod_jk.conf ------------- LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/workers.properties JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] " workers.properties ------------------- ps=/ worker.list=pub-app01, pub-app02, pub-app03, pub-app04, pub-app05, pub-lb worker.pub-app01.type=ajp13 worker.pub-app01.host=app01 worker.pub-app01.port=8009 worker.pub-app01.socket_keepalive=1 worker.pub-app02.type=ajp13 worker.pub-app02.host=app02 worker.pub-app02.port=8009 worker.pub-app02.socket_keepalive=1 worker.pub-app03.type=ajp13 worker.pub-app03.host=app03 worker.pub-app03.port=8009 worker.pub-app03.socket_keepalive=1 worker.pub-app04.type=ajp13 worker.pub-app04.host=app04 worker.pub-app04.port=8009 worker.pub-app04.socket_keepalive=1 worker.pub-app05.type=ajp13 worker.pub-app05.host=app05 worker.pub-app05.port=8009 worker.pub-app05.socket_keepalive=1 worker.ajp13.lbfactor=1 worker.pub-lb.type=lb worker.pub-lb.balance_workers=pub-app01,pub-app02,pub-app03,pub-app04,pub-app05 worker.pub-lb.sticky_session=1 virtual.conf ----------- <VirtualHost 10.1.2.1:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName www.myserver.com JkMount /myapp/* pub-lb <Location /> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your details" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/htpasswd Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost> ------------------------------ Thanks in advance.
