Hello, I'm referring to the load balancing document and I think there may be some confusion.
The document states the sticky bit isn't required for the LB between MIdtier and AR System server, but I can not see (and forgive me for not fully reading the document in detail) any reference to the LB in front of the Midtiers and the sticky bit. I therefore conclude that the LB in front of the Midtiers needs the sticky bit set because the Midtiers do not cluster. Further to that, the Midtier web.xml file doesn't contain: <distributable /> Which as you can see in this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cluster-howto.html (Under clustering basics) needs to be included for Tomcat (and other servlet engines) to distribute sessions.
