## org.apache.catalina.ha.session
Class JvmRouteBinderValve

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.valves.ValveBase
          org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.management.MBeanRegistration, Contained, ClusterValve, Lifecycle, Valve

    public class JvmRouteBinderValve

extends ValveBase
implements ClusterValve, Lifecycle

Valve to handle Tomcat jvmRoute takeover using mod_jk module after node 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!

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: `JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener` since Tomcat 5.5.10, and both JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener and JvmRouteSessionIDBinderLifecycleListener for earlier versions of Tomcat.

Add this Valve to your host definition at conf/server.xml . Since 5.5.10 as direct cluster valve:

      <Cluster>
      <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve" />
      </Cluster>

Before 5.5.10 as Host element:

      <Host>
      <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve" />
      </Host>

A Trick:
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 sessions are migrated.
