Hi, In our infraestructure we have a Radware hardware load balancing which keeps the sticky session.
We have a apache webserver wich serves requests to a single tomcat We have implemented a pooled session replication method between all our tomcat nodes. With this infraestructure, is necessary this line ? Thanks a lot.

I have tried to add the sticky_sessions=0 but I got the same behaviour. --> If the sticky_session is set to 0 the load balancer can forward your request to any tomcat instance. If stiky session is set to 1 then if the tomcat instance where the session is created is alive receives the request. Sticky_session is usually set to 1, but this is not related to changing of the sessionId. I have the following lines in server.xml file: <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"/> <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener"/> <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.ClusterSessionListener"/> To disable sticky sessions sould I comment the second line ? -->The valve you mentioned <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"/> takes care for changing of the sessionId. If you remove this line from your server.xml the sessionId will not be changed. But this is NOT GOOD. If you do so then load balancer will not know where to forward the request and with one JSESSIONID you may end with different http sessions on different tomcat instances. 3. Add a listener to handle the change in session ID -->SessionId renaming is related to change of the vm. Check the HttpSessionActivationListener in the servlet_spec. I think it can help you. "Objects that are bound to a session may listen to container events notifying them that sessions will be passivated and that session will be activated. A container that migrates session between VMs or persists sessions is required to notify all attributes bound to sessions implementing HttpSessionActivationListener." After session goes to the new vm do you need the old JSESSIONID or the new one is enough?

Don't code your application assuming the session ID is constant --> We will try if is there no other option. 2.- Don't use sticky session. --> I have tried to add the sticky_sessions=0 but I got the same behaviour.

Add a listener to handle the change in session ID --> Yes, but there is no method related to session renaming. When a session is renamed a sessionCreation event is rised (no rename (because does not exist) and no descruction method) Thanks in advance.

If a node goes down, the session fails over to another node and hence the jvmRoute has to change. > I think session ID should not change its ID or should be a way to avoid this > rename processs. > > Is there any workarround or change this behaviour ? 1. Don't code your application assuming the session ID is constant 2. Don't use sticky sessions 3.
