Hi list! I am configuring tomcat cluster in the following env. : 2 servers having apache/mod_jk in front and tomcat 6 in the back end. There _is_ a load balancer in front of all this, however the session stickiness does not always works _and_ there is always a question - what if one of the servers will be took out for a while and the traffic redirected to another one.
However i have configured in the past multiple application (of the same tomcat instance) to site on different workers . (I wanted a separated pool of tomcat thread with separate timeout etc. configured for each application). Since this is the same tomcat those applications site in the same <Engine> But ,and here is the question, according to docs - I should configure my <Engine> jvmRoute to be the same as the worker's name ,but my Engine have several workers associated with it !!! If i understand correctly jvmRoute is used for session stickiness ,right? Basically for my setup i think i can do without the jvmRoute at all ,since i have an apache in front of every tomcat separately, is that right? Thanks Evgeny
