If you are using sticky sessions, then it is vital to the operation of your cluster that the jvmRoutes be set with care and configured in the web server to match the individual Tomcat instances. If you aren't using sticky sessions, then you can eliminate the jvmRoute because it doesn't matter which back-end server the requests go to. > Generating a value at deployment time therefore seemed like the > easiest way of doing this.

You could also set it to "" but I recently found out that gives you an empty jvmRoute, not a non-existent one. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk5UHCsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDwyQCfbBMxQcfi8WCXbjjyP+c4oAG6 eQoAoLPKUp7MXfjg1SfxB0u2M78Jq+GM =I58I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
