[Raju Rathi <raju.rathi1112@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All ,

I am trying to enable sticky sessions in Apache, however it is not working. Below are the changes made by me. Can anyone please advice if I am missing something?

I do not see any error in the access log, however request from one user is still going to other server. Please let me know if any additional information is needed to answer/help my query.appreciate quick response on this .. 

Step 1: Added below in httpd.conf of load balancer of server1 & server2

<Proxy balancer://marsBalancer>
BalancerMember http://server1fullname:8080  route=server1 
BalancerMember http://server2fullname:8080  route=server2
ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /marsWAR/ balancer://marsBalancer/marsWAR/

Step 2: Updated below in server.xml

a) server.xml in server1

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="server1">    

b) server.xml in server2

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="server2">
