sticky session with apache web server and tomcat servers

Question

I am using apache web server as a load balancer for two tomcat instances behind apache. When the first request goes to node A and second request from the same client goes to no

Answer 1

This worked for me...

Instead of using stickysession=JSESSIONID in ProxyPass directive it has to be set within balancer configuration using ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID:

BalancerMember ajp://server1:8009 route=tomcat1
BalancerMember ajp://server2:8009 route=tomcat2
ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID

ProxyPass /myapp/ mybalancer://myapp/

It was not working for me when I was using it in ProxyPass as shown below:

ProxyPass /myapp/ mybalancer://myapp/ stickysession=JSESSIONID

This should be added to apache docs, because it's such a pain to solve.
