I'm currently trying to do the same, but I'm not sure if it will be a good idea yet, according to this support articles it doesn't seems a good idea: https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v55/session-management-and-failover https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v55/app-server-configuration-failover But, if you decide keep trying, open your jasperreports server installation zip an edit this file with the desired config: buildomaticconf_sourcetemplateswebappMETA-INFcontext.xml Last line of this file is “<Manager pathname="" />” you should override it with your custom config. The reason is because jasperreports webapp uses this one instead of the main tomcat context.xml. I made it work, but now I have another issues with internal caches. I hope it helps!
