TCL IF/Else processing problem?

I'm using an iRule to manually manipulate the persistence table - adding a persistence record on login and deleting it on logout. I'm seeing a behavior I can't explain - perhaps someone here can help...

Are you sure that the else statement is being executed in the same request? Try adding some more logging at the entry to HTTP_REQUEST and we'll see...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "Received HTTP Request for URI: [HTTP::uri]"
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "logout.do"} {
    persist delete uie [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]
    log local0. " Deleted persistence for session [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]"
  } else {
    persist uie [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] 1800
    log local0. " Updated persistence for session [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]"
  }
}

Odds are there's another requests slipping in there not containing "logout.do" after your logout.do request.
