Httpd 2.2.17 Tomcat 6.0.29 Sun JDK 1.6.0_22 Spring Framework (3.0.2 I think) All on Windows
The Dev team is creating a new app that we are planning to deploy using httpd as a load-balancer to two Tomcats on separate servers. Httpd is configured to serve static files - graphics, css, etc. - with everything else being sent to the Tomcat servers over AJP. The Tomcat app has one jsp file setup as the welcome-file, which just does a redirect to host/app/login, which is an internal action that generates the real login screen. All other parts of the app are buried in the WEB-INF/classes structure (as far as I can tell). We are currently testing the setup, and if you go to http://prtltest.polydyne.com, everything seems to work just fine. The browser gets redirected to http://prtltest.polydyne.com/Portal/login and the screen looks fine. The problem is if you go directly to the login page, bypassing the welcome-file redirect, then you don't get the static files. If you refresh the page, everything shows up again. Looking at the source of the login page, it appears that all the static links have the jsessionid appended to them on the first load, but not on subsequent loads. I assume this is because Tomcat hasn't determined cookie support yet when it generates the page the first time, but does know about it on the refresh. My question is, is there something the Dev team should be doing before generating the login page, or generating the static links, or is there a configuration setting I'm missing in the httpd.conf file? Or perhaps in the web.xml? Jeff The httpd.conf file is pretty stock, with the following added for the load-balancer configuration: <Location /balancer-manager> SetHandler balancer-manager Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 10.1.1 127.0.0.1 </Location> <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember ajp://prtltest01:8009/Portal route=tomcat1 loadfactor=50 BalancerMember ajp://prtltest02:8009/Portal route=tomcat2 loadfactor=50 </Proxy> ProxyPass /Portal/static !
