I'm trying to connect httpd 2.2 to tomcat 5.5.12 in such a way that: 1) I can load balance multiple Tomcat instances. 2) If one Tomcat instance stops responding or is shutdown, it is no longer used. 3) Sticky sessions. 4) http & https (SSL) support The first three items look like they can be accomplished using mod_proxy and ProxyPass with a blanacer:// and ajp:// URL's to the Tomcat instances. Based on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass, something like this may work: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName myhost.mydomain.com ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster stickysession=jsessionid nofailover=On <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember ajp://server01:8009/myapp/ BalancerMember ajp://server02:8009/myapp/ </Proxy> </VirtualHost> Is it possible to add SSL into the mix and still have load balancing and sticky sessions? Any help or reality checks would be appreciated!
