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:

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.
