PK72130: HANDLE CONVERGED APPLICATION FAILOVER WITH AFFINITY BASED COOKIES.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Currently converged application failover is only supported
through the use of embedded URI support.  Since cookie support
is more of the norm for HTTP, we need to be able to support
cookie based failover.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  V6.1 and V7.0                               *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Currently there is no way to set a      *
*                      cookie to be used for affinity for a    *
*                      converged SIP/HTTP session.             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  User must use embedded URIs for affinity.   *
****************************************************************
Support needed to be added into the Web container to allow the
setting of a cookie to be used for affinity for HTTP sessions
for a converged SIP/HTTP application.  The HTTP proxy also
needed to be aware of this cookie such that it could be used
to route HTTP requests appropriately based on this cookie.

Problem conclusion

Support was added into the Web container to add support to the
setting of a cookie specific to converged HTTP/SIP sessions
and support added to the HTTP proxy to look for this cookie
and route requests based on this new converged cookie.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 6.1.0.23 and 7.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
