styckysession not working with httpd-2.4.6 / mod_cluster-1.2.5.Final

[marcodanti]

In the following configuration, the stickysession directive worked perfectly when using httpd-2.2.24/mod_cluster-1.2.0.Final;

however, it does not work any longer (in the sense that it is ignored) with httpd-2.4.6/mod_cluster-1.2.5.Final.

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>

BalancerMember ajp://stw-1:7009/ route=stw-1

BalancerMember ajp://stw-2:7009/ route=stw-2

ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid

</Proxy>

I read in the docs that stickysession should be enabled by default in mod_cluster anyway, but that is not the case for me.

The two BalancerMember directives may or may not be there, the result is the same.

I am using AS7-7.2.0.Final

Configuring the BalancerMember and using mod_cluster goes against the mod_cluster goals of a zero (or minimal) configuration.

Additionally if you don't configure the instance-id in the AS7 configuration a generated JVMRoute will be used.

If it works in 2.2.x then it should work in 2.4.x too so please report a JIRA.

[#MODCLUSTER-359] stickysession not working with httpd-2.4.6 / mod_cluster-1.2.5.Final - JBoss Issue Tracker

After further verification, I could determine that when the configuration contains the BalancerMember directives, both httpd-2.2.24 and httpd-2.4.6 crash.

Regarding the 'stickysession' directive: it works as expected in httpd-2.2.24 but appears to be ignored in httpd-2.4.6.

I updated MODCLUSTER-359 with all the details.
