Dsitributed session help...

[John Pettit <jo...@logictier.com>]

Hi All,

I'm working with Tomcat 3.1; my understanding is that load balancing is
working for that version. I'm trying to do a simple config with one instance
of apache load balancing between two instances of Tomcat.  That all seems to
be working, but I can't figure out how the get the sessions to be sticky.
The JSESSIONID cookies are appending the route identifier to the cookie
value (e.g. JESSIONID=To1020mC3453730581940907At.JS1), but subsequent
requests are equally likely to go to JS2 (and a new cookie ending in .JS2 is
set).

The tomcat.conf file I'm using follows. Any help would be so very much
appreciaited.

Thanks,
John Pettit
