                 Key: MODCLUSTER-268
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-268
             Project: mod_cluster
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: MOD_CLUSTER_1_0_10_GA_CP01
         Environment: JBoss EAP 5.1.1
EWS 1.0.2
MOD_CLUSTER 1.0.10.GA_CP01
            Reporter: Aaron Ogburn
            Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere
            Priority: Minor


Empty session paths can result in requests being sent to mod_cluster workers that shouldn't be.  For example, if a request for apache-served static content has an applicable JSESSIONID (either because the path matches the context or its an empty path and matches everything) with a route valve appended to it,  then the static content request is directed to the mod_cluster balancer, resulting in 503s and "All workers are in error state".

So it looks like the presence of a jsessionid.jvmroute cookie causes apache/mod_cluster to improperly route the request even if its a context not handled by any mod_cluster workers.
