I have one struts application which is deployed on jboss eap 6.1 in tow different machine and I used mod_jk clustering for load balancing.

I pointed the config file to standalone-full-ha.xml and enabled ajp and http connector as below:

<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http" enabled="true" />
<connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" scheme="http" socket-binding="ajp" enabled="true"/>

and in httpd.conf file

Include conf/mod-jk.conf


In mod-jk.conf file

# AJP13 proxy
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
<IfModule mod_proxy_ajp.c>
Include "conf/extra/httpd-ajp.conf"
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
#JkShmFile logs/mod_jk.shm
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
#JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
JkLogLevel info
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%s %Y]"
JkMount /* loadbalancer
JkMount /myapp/* loadbalancer

<Location /jkstatus/>
JkMount status
Order deny,allow

</Location>

in workers.properties

# Define list of workers that will be used
# for mapping requests
worker.list=loadbalancer,node1,node2,status

# Define Node1
# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node1.port=8009
worker.node1.host=localhost
worker.node1.type=ajp13
#worker.node1.ping_mode=A
worker.node1.lbfactor=100


# Define Node2
# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node2.port=8010
worker.node2.host=localhost
worker.node2.type=ajp13
#worker.node2.ping_mode=A
worker.node2.lbfactor=100


# Load-balancing behavior
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=node1,node2
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1

# Status worker for managing load balancer
worker.status.type=status

started both the jboss server and apache server as well

I am able to browse the lending login page page( the first struts /logon.do is pointing to server1 )

but while giving username and password the action is not getting executed for which I am not able to login.

if I bring down one jboss server then it is working fine.

Note: I noticed that for while hitting the login button it is going to LogonAction.java file but from there I have return mapping.findForward("success"); which should move to another action class /toDoListAction but it is not going to that class. And more ever the first logon action is hitting the first node1 and the todoList action is hitting second node node2(as per the server.log)

Could you please help me?
