Hi BM,

 

 

Take a look at this post and the iRule posted by Hoolio.

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/Forums/tabid/53/aft/1171255/Default.aspx

 

 

The BIG-IP does not keep track of the JSESSIONID by default, it uses other means (most commonly used in my experience is Cookie Persistence) to persist a client to a specific server. It is up to the application (normally) take take care of session information.

 

 

The iRule in this post made by Hoolio should get you well on your way if you want to use JSESSIONID Persistence. This will however require some changes in your Weblogic settings (the links to Oracle are also in that post and I found that the "set static::j_cookie "jsessionid" is case-sensitive, so you may need to put it in all caps), Hoolio really out did himself with that one.
