Cookie name ... is a reserved token / session id

stoppen Aug 14, 2012 6:18 AM

Hi Group

i'm new here so first "hello!" to all readers!

i have a problem with migrating an web application from Jboss 5 to 7.1.1, exactly there is a probolem with the session id.

i want to configure jb 7.1.1 in domain mode, as it's really cool to configure, but in the logon procedure of the app i get an error:

08:42:18,962 ERROR [....seam.components.AbstractComponent] (http--10.0.0.194-8080-6) user xxx host jb7-dev(http://jb7-dev:8080/XXXXX/login.seam) failed to login: Cookie name "17CpUQ-Unjfx1lhGHWuVhSLp.master:node1" is a reserved token

08:42:18,963 ERROR [stderr] (http--100.0.0.194-8080-6) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cookie name "17CpUQ-Unjfx1lhGHWuVhSLp.master:node1" is a reserved token

08:42:18,964 ERROR [stderr] (http--100.0.0.194-8080-6) at javax.servlet.http.Cookie.<init>(Cookie.java:189)

....

What i found out is that the ":" in the cookie string causes this problem, but i've no idea where to configure the session string layout.

Is this a job for the developers or is there the need to change the jboss configuration?

Maybe someone can lead me to the right direction.

thanks in advance,

stef

Hi,

you probably have instance-id or the name of the server set to master:node1

if it is name of the server, then just change instance-id in web subsytem to something that does not include colon (:)

Hi,

the server name configured in host.xml is "master" and the instance is named "node1", but the ":" (colon) is coming from somewhere else ....
... which is exactly my problem.

then that is is it, name is composed from host's name and server's name that is how you get ":" in it.

just configure web subsystem to have some different instance-id

for example

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:... instance-id="node1">

ok,
now i have:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" instance-id="${jboss.node.name}" ....

but if i change this to fixed name, will the LB (modjk) be able to find back to the right instance?

hi,

mod_jk has static configuration when it comes to jvmRoute aka it has to match to whatever you have set in instance-id (or what is auto generated id)

mod_cluster can dynamicly communicate that.

so if i want to use mod_jk this means i'm stuck:
i need jboss.node.name so the right instance is called, which means i get a session id which causes the "reserved token" error ?!?

or do i missunderstand something?
