Hi,

Is anybody configured Force Sticky session in Haproxy (with JSESSIONID).

I am using following things  
Centos 6.4  
Apache 2.2  
Jboss 4.0  
ModJK  
and HaProxy 1.6.12

also check following setting in ModJK config but not succeed.

cookie serverid insert indirect nocache  
stick-table type string len 36 size 1m expire 8h  
stick on cookie(JSESSIONID)

I want to configure this on HaProxy level.  
If my one web-server goes down then client should not get disconnect , should wait for the web-server get up.  
If server get up withing time then client start communicating.

Use “option persist”:
