Well, it gets attached to the sessionid by Tomcat, not httpd. It is read by the front-end to determine which backend is supposed to receive the request. As Chris pointed out, it is mostly used by folks running with "sticky-sessions", but from what I've been able to tell, most folks set up their clusters that way. It lessens the headaches. FYI: When you see a hyperbolic, over-the-top response like my first, it's usually a combination of a query of "what are you trying to accomplish" and a hint that you might need to (re)read the documentation on the topic so you have a better idea of what is going on. I see from your first post that you know where to find the Tomcat 7 documentation, take a closer look at section 18. __________________________________________________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This Transmission (including any attachments) may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
