Greetings,
In
Tomcat's server.xml file, there's a Engine tag with attribute jvmRoute, like this :
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="svr-myapp1" jvmRoute="server1">
Based on my research, I know this attribute is used in conjunction with the Apache load balancer. In the project which I currently working on, load balancing of two Tomcat servers is done by F5 Network, and it doesn't use the jvmRoute attribute. My question is, is it safe to just add this attribute in the server.xml, or will this have consequences?
The reason is need the jvmRoute attribute is because I'm need to store all session IDs created by the container in the DB. With jvmRoute, I can differentiate the session ID whether they were created by server1 or server2. Attribute jvmRoute will append the
string specified in every session IDs created, for e.g D3743GDUI38484.server1. I would also appreciate any other suggestion to make server indicator appear with the session ID. Thanks.
