[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-609) Allow to configure session cookie/parameter name

Allow to configure session cookie/parameter name ------------------------------------------------ Key: MODCLUSTER-609 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MODCLUSTER-609 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Core & Container Integration (Java) Affects Versions: 1.2.13.Final, 1.3.7.Final Reporter: Leandro Quiroga Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere Priority: Minor Labels: stickysession Attachments: CustomJBossWebEngine.java, CustomJBossWebEngineFactory.java Allow to specify session cookie / parameter name. Now it is not possible to specify at balancer a session cookie / parameter name different from what is used at server. This would be useful for implementing "Sticky Session duration". This means that sessions would be stuck to one server for a period of time. When this period of time goes by, the session could be stuck to a different server that is less loaded than previous one. The scenario in which "sticky session duration" makes sense is a distributable application that needs to have sticky session but not for the entire session. Some useful documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-sticky... http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-sticky... https://developer.jboss.org/thread/273861 https://developer.jboss.org/thread/275361 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42025998/sticky-session-duration A way to implement the functionality that allows to specify the session cookie / parameter name is attached in two files. Additionally, a file (META-INF/services/org.jboss.modcluster.container.catalina.EngineFactory) change, specifying the new factory, is needed.
