[jetty-users] Jetty and Apache Reverse Proxy (session problem)

[Stefan Mietke <canada_stefan@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi List,

I have a problem while configuring the Apache Server as a Reverse Proxy using Jetty as a Servlet Container. Writing the httpd.cong is quite easy, and everything worked fine ... at the first moment. But I use Sessions for Login in my Java WebApp and the Apache isn't setting any cookie header, so the Jetty thinks, that every request is a new client and generates a new JSESSIONID.

Here is some code:

httpd.conf

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia On
ProxyPreserveHost On
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLExtended On

<Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:8081/jettyapp
ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:8081/jettyapp
ProxyHTMLURLMap /myapp http://localhost:8081/jettyapp

I read the tutorial http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Apache but I don't want to use a balancer cause I only have one Jetty to use ...

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
Stefan
