[WebMacro-user] Session problem solved [was: Session problems with Tomcat5]

[Tim P. <ti...@pa...>]

Thanks to everyone who helped, 
but I was looking in the wrong place.

I am moving my applications up from Apache and jserv 
to Apache 2 and Tomcat5.

My httpd.conf contained:

 ProxyPass /db http://beg:8082/servlet
 ProxyPassReverse /db http://beg:8082/servlet

This worked but resulted in my getting a new session each time. 
Now I have: 

 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule  ^/db/(.+)$  /begbroke/$1 [L]
 ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyPass /begbroke http://beg:8082/begbroke
 ProxyPassReverse /begbroke http://beg:8082/begbroke

and everything is back to working order!

Thanks again for those who have offered suggestions. 

yours
Tim Pizey
