Hi list, I having problems, getting apache mod_proxy to work with tomcat6 with regard to sessions/cookies the way I like. First of, these are the versions I use: tomcat 6.0.18 apache 2.2.9 (debian lenny) I want to use mod_proxy (as replacement for mod_jk) for serving tomcat pages via apache. My initial configuration was <Virtualhost *:80> ... ProxyRequests Off ProxyVia On ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/barcooServer/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/barcooServer/ ... </VirtualHost> I have session support enabled in the tomcat web app. Unfortunately, when I browse the web site that is served by apache, the session is not stored via a cookie but a ;jsessionid=... is appended to the url, e.g. http://barcoo.de/presse.jsf;jsessionid=62B2D7979D569DB9826E79AB600F144D I don't want that, as that is bad for SEO and easy bookmarking. After googling around, I found the following directive and added it to the above configuration ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /barcooServer / This solves the problem, but only partially. The first time you browse the web site, the jsessionid variable is still appended to the url. If I reload the page, or click any links, the cookie is correctly set and the variable disappears from the urls. You can test this behaviour on: http://barcoo.de Now my question is, how can I get mod_proxy / apache, to also set the cookie correctly on the first page that is served. Is there a misconfiguration on my side (either apache or tomcat) or is there a bug somewhere. The tomcat6 server.xml is pretty much unchanged from the default configuration.
