             Summary: stickysession not working with httpd-2.4.6 / mod_cluster-1.2.5.Final
                 Key: MODCLUSTER-359
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-359
             Project: mod_cluster
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.5.Final
         Environment: OS. SLES-11-SP1 x86_64
            Reporter: Marco Danti
            Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere


Setup: HTTPD configured as reverse proxy / load balancer for two instances of JBOSS-AS-7.2.0.Final on separate nodes.

In the following configuration (defined inside my virtual hosts), the stickysession directive worked as expected using httpd-2.2.24/mod_cluster-1.2.0.Final.
 
<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
  BalancerMember ajp://stw-1:7009/ route=stw-1
  BalancerMember ajp://stw-2:7009/ route=stw-2
  ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid
</Proxy>

After upgrading to httpd-2.4.6/mod_cluster-1.2.5.Final however, it does not work any longer: 'stickysession' is ignored, and any request gets dispatched alternatively to each one of my two JBOSS-AS-7.2.0 instances running in HA mode on two different nodes (exactly as if lbmethod=byrequest were defined)

I read in the docs that stickysession should be enabled by default in mod_cluster anyway, but that is not the case for me.

Please note that I get the same problem either with or without the two BalancerMember directives.
