I have a site running Java servlet, using tomcat8.5, it's working fine : http://69.197.177.154:8080/GATE_Web/index.jsp
But the guy at the ISP is concerned about security, so he suggested we use NGinx to make it safer, therefore the same app is doing a NGinx Proxy pass through, and is running at : http://gatecybertech.net/
It is not running properly, when I clicked on the buttons, the cursor at the bottom is not moving, and I've notice the "User Count : " at the upper right of the page is increasing quickly, even when there is only one user [ me ] testing the app. I use Java session to keep track of new user sessions, it's working fine in the 1st site, but when working with NGinx, it's not behaving correctly.
Since the app is complicated, in order to quickly figure out why it's not working properly with NGinx, I simplified the app and created another servlet called Test_Servlet : http://69.197.177.154:8080/GATE_Web/Test_Servlet
As you can see, when you click on different buttons, the cursor with follow and point to the clicked button.
The same Test_Servlet running with NGinx is at : http://gatecybertech.net/Test_Servlet
With this one, the cursor won't follow the button you click on.
I suspect the config for the NGinx is not properly set, what do you think is wrong with it ?
And here is the simplified servlet.

Yes, it seems that nginx configuration is not correct
Your site sets cookie with path
/GATE_Web
while from the point of a browser the URL is not under this path, so the browser will not send the cookie on subsequent requests, and HTTP session will be started over.One suggestion is to map to
/GATE_Web
in nginx as well and usehttp://gatecybertech.net/GATE_Web/Test_Servlet
instead ofhttp://gatecybertech.net/Test_Servlet
Alright, I've solved the problem. By doing the following :
In /opt/tomcat85/conf/context.xml, change "
<Context>
" to :
