Question

I am using proxy pass to load balance my workers. Somehow my tomcat session is getting lost and recreated. I tried standalone tomcat and it works fine but not with load balancer. Please help.

  <Proxy *>
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyPass /balancer-manager !
    ProxyPass /images !
    ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ 

    ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/

    <Proxy balancer://mycluster>
      BalancerMember ajp://192.168.70.6:9061 route=qa1
      ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
    </Proxy>
    <Location /balancer-manager>
      SetHandler balancer-manager
    </Location>
    <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
      AllowOverride all   
    </Directory>

I finally figured out the cause of the issue. I had another server which was being invoked by an absolute URL from the site which was causing the workers JSESSIONID to be overwritten.
