Hi All. Have been looking for a few days now for a fix for this one issue that I just cannot get around..
Basically If I run http://www.greenlightproductions.co.uk/servlets/SessionExample The session ID keeps changing if you refresh the page (same goes for all other servlet code I been using you login once logged in session info lost as in new session ID assigned) but if I go to port 8180 it works perfect http://www.greenlightproductions.co.uk:8180/servlets/SessionExample the session ID remains the same no matter how much i refresh. I have been looking all over google for an answer for this and most of it is to do with load balancing tomcat and getting same session ID :( I am sure others have hit this issue before and it must be a tom cat config issue (well for the apache listener) here is some of my config. ####################################################################### /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk2.load LoadModule jk2_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk2.so ####################################################################### /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk2.conf # To enable mod_jk2, customize workers2.properties* from # /usr/share/doc/libapache2-mod-jk2/examples and copy it to # /etc/apache2/workers2.properties.
