/**
* Valve to handle Tomcat jvmRoute takeover using mod_jk module after node
- * failure. After a node crashed the next request going to other cluster node.
- * Now the answering from apache is slower ( make some error handshaking. Very
- * bad with apache at my windows.). We rewrite now the jsessionid
- * information to the backup cluster node. After the next response all client
- * request goes direct to the backup node. The change sessionid send also to
all
- * other cluster nodes. Well, now the session stickyness work directly to the
- * backup node and traffic don't go back too restarted cluster nodes!
- * As jsessionid was created by cookie, the change JSESSIONID cookie resend
with next response.
- *
- * At all cluster node you must configure the as ClusterListener since 5.5.10
- * {...@link
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener
JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener}
- * or before with
- *
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListenerLifecycle.
+ * failure. After a node crashes, subsequent requests go to other cluster
nodes.
+ * That incurs a drop in performance. When this Valve is enabled on a backup
+ * node and sees a request, which was intended for another (thus failed) node,
+ * it will rewrite the cookie jsessionid information to use the route to this
+ * backup cluster node, that answered the request. After the response is
+ * delivered to the client, all subsequent client requests will go directly to
+ * the backup node. The change of sessionid is also sent to all other cluster
+ * nodes. After all that, the session stickyness will work directly to the
+ * backup node and the traffic will not go back to the failed node after it is
+ * restarted!
*
+ * <p>
+ * For this valve to function correctly, so that all nodes of the cluster
+ * receive the sessionid change notifications that it generates, the following
+ * ClusterListener MUST be configured at all nodes of the cluster:
+ * {...@link
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener
+ * JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener} since Tomcat 5.5.10, and both
+ * JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener and JvmRouteSessionIDBinderLifecycleListener
+ * for earlier versions of Tomcat.
+ *
+ * <p>
* Add this Valve to your host definition at conf/server.xml .
*
* Since 5.5.10 as direct cluster valve:<br/>
+ *
* <pre>
* <Cluster>
* <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"
/>
* </Cluster>
* </pre>
+ *
* <br />
* Before 5.5.10 as Host element:<br/>
+ *
* <pre>
- * <Hostr>
+ * <Host>
* <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"
/>
- * </Hostr>
+ * </Host>
* </pre>
*
- * Trick:<br/>
- * You can enable this mod_jk turnover mode via JMX before you drop a node to
all backup nodes!
- * Set enable true on all JvmRouteBinderValve backups, disable worker at
mod_jk
- * and then drop node and restart it! Then enable mod_jk Worker and disable
JvmRouteBinderValves again.
- * This use case means that only requested session are migrated.
