I wrote the code to generate the session id and add it as an HTTP header at the recommendation of someone on the users list. The problem now is appending the jvmroute to the generated session id in order to get session stickiness to work. If there were some way for the servlet to retrieve the jvmRoute from server.xml, I could append it to the session id and get it to work. I have been looking online for a solution, but have been unable to find one.

Whatever generates the session id doesn't generate a correct one which supports stickyness. The session id doesn't look like a normal Tomcat session id, so it seems something else is setting the JSESSIONID cookie, like a custom sesion manager. You need to find that piece of code and fix it (to append the jvmRoute to the id). Regards, Rainer > In the mod_jk.log, I also noted several references to the session id, > which are included below.
