Sticky Session, Round-Robin with BalancerFilter?

[Scott Dudley <sc...@telesoft.com>]

Is it possible to perform JK-like sticky session, round robin load 
balancing using a Tomcat instance as the front-end vs Apache, IIS, etc?

This may seem an odd request, but I've been asked to port an application 
from Resin to Tomcat.  They are using an instance of resin in this very 
manner (as a front-end) and don't want to introduce another web server 
into the mix.  They simply want to replace resin with tomcat.  I 
demonstrated a simple load-balance arrangement by running the 
distributed balancer app on one instance to distribute requests to 
others.  What I didn't realize is that the resin filter supported the 
sticky session, round robin stuff.

Recap: any way to do this using a Tomcat instance as the front-end?

Many thanks.
