I would try to double-check that when this happens, the person hasn't actually been switched from one mid-tier server to the other - doing that could cause what you are seeing. You could verify this by logging into the configuration page and looking at the cache information just after someone gets an invalid session message and has to log in again. There are entries on the cache settings page for everyone that has recently logged into the mid-tier on that server. If you find an entry for that person on both servers, then I would suspect that something is causing the F5 to switch from one server to the other, despite the sticky bit setting.

I have F5 load balancer in front of two midtier servers and sticky bit is set to 120 minutes on the F5 load balancer. Application timeout is set to 1 hour. When users are accessing the application via web, users are getting session invalid or timed out error before 60 minutes sometimes before 20 minutes . This is not happening every time. It is intermittent. Has anyone faced this type of issue and found any solution to resolve this? I have tried setting the session time out in web.xml(located in D:\ARSystem\Mid-Tier\WEB-INF) file of the midtier servers. But this didn't resolve the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
