losing jsessionid in a cluster

["Gundersen, Richard" <Ri...@london-scottish.com>]

Hi

I'm using URL rewriting (I can't use session cookies for certain
reasons). In my code, I have this: 

<s:url id="url" value="%{#session['currentTransaction'].url}"/>

Locally, this generates my URL perfectly - preserving the jsessionid -
like this:

https://localhost/Payment/acsResponse.action;jsessionid=12DEE30A8983DF3D
151D

However on our clustered production environment (2 Tomcat servers), the
JSP generates the same url WITHOUT the jsessionid value. 

Unfortunately, I really need it to be preserved because this is the URL
that we need an external website to post back to us. Because jsessionid
is being omitted, the user loses his session when he comes back...

Any help might just save my life! Thanks :)

Re: losing jsessionid in a cluster

Hi,

on your production environment, how do you balance your request between 
your tomcat servers? Do you use apache with mod_proxy, or mod_jk maybe 
or anything else?
I had problems while using such architecture because of the way that 
tomcat build url from values present in the http header.

Regards

Sébastien
