JR51204: REST services using prior ActivityToken in a Clustered Environme nt

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a clustered environment, there is the possibility of
  subsequent REST requests being made to a different node before
  the previously cached ActivityToken is invalidated.  Due to the
  lack of invalidation, the request will run with the user Id
  associated to the activity ID in that nodes memory, which might
  be different if the activity id was associated to a new ID on
  another node in the cluster. This can produce undesired behavior
   with REST requests.

  REST services using prior ActivityToken in a Clustered
  Environment

Problem conclusion

• JSESSIONID cookie is generated and returned to the client.  The
  JSESSIONID will then be used to achieve session affinity.
  Non-browser clients may require code changes to consume and
  provide the JSESSIONID with subsequent requests.
