Description

In WebSphere Application Server with Cluster configuration, Wink doesn't support session affinity option (which means Wink didn't initialize an HTTP session object when it received an HTTP request from Client). Therefore, the request will be dispatched to one server and then the other server alternately. For RESTful service with session enabled, this may be a problem. Wink team may consider to provide to enable session affinity as a possible option.
