[jboss-user] sticky_session=0 + UseJk=false + HTTP Session Replication

Hello, I have a setup with: Two hardware load balancers -> 2 Apache 2.2 instances running mod_jk 1.2.28 LB w/ sticky_session=0 -> 2 JBossAS 4.2.3 Servers doing HTTP Session Replication via JBoss Clustering. * My hardware load balancers are not configured to do sticky sessions * My Apache 2.2 w/ mod_jk lb workers have sticky_session=0 set (No Sticky Sessions) Since I do not have sticky_session enabled do I still need to have UseJK=true and my jvmRoute value set for mod_jk LB and HTTP Session Replication to work? In deploy/jboss-web.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml it reads: --- SNIP --- <!-- Whether to use MOD_JK(2) for load balancing with sticky session combined with JvmRoute. If set to true, it will insert a JvmRouteFilter to intercept every request and replace the JvmRoute if it detects a failover. In addition, you will need to set the JvmRoute inside Tomcat, e.g., Engine name="jboss.web" jmvRoute="Node1" defaultHost="localhost" in server.xml. For clustering purpose only. --> <attribute name="UseJK">false</attribute> --- SNIP --- This suggest to me that unless you are using sticky_session=1 in mod_jk you don't need to set UseJK to true and the jvmRoute. Is this assumption correct? If UseJK is set to false does mod_jk LB still work with JBoss? Will other aspects of jboss clustering still function as they should i.e Session Replication? Thanks, Nick
