I have an environment with a JBoss EAP 6.4 domain controlling 4 nodes, and to perform the load balancing between cluster members I'm using Apache with the mod_cluster. After all configured the application worked correctly with load balancing and session replication, but the sessions are not sticky, every request made by the same client is being sent to a different server, which causes the requests to be very slow and time consuming.

jboss-web.xml

Am I forgetting anything to make the sticky sessions work properly? Every help is welcome. Thanks!
