Detect server node processing a http request

Posted on Feb 11, 2005 at 11:04 AM 14 Views

Is there any way to detect which server node is answering a http request? For debug purposes I would like to add the cluster element to the output of a jsp. Maybe it is also possible to force a jsp being processed by a given node?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Best regards,

Frank

    Hi Frank,

    Yes you can trace session cookies in order to understand which server node is answering.

    If you want to force a jsp being processed by a given node you may add before parameters the following:

    saplb_*=(<instance-id>)<server-id>

    More about J2EE Engine cookies you can see here:

      Hi Violeta,

      Thanks for your answer! This has been very helpful indeed.

      However, I´m still a bit puzzled. Replacing the saplb cookie forces the load balancer to use the given server, but the JSESSIONID does not change. Looking at the application data I know that I´m talking to a different server, but I still don´t seem to have a way to tell which server ansered - except my expectation that the saplb cookie might have been taken into account by the server.

      Isn´t there a more sophisticated way to access this kind of information? Escpecially, getting a list of all available servers would be great, as this would allow to choose the server having a look at.

      Best regards,

      Frank
