jSessionIdExtractor	The jSessionIdExtractor extracts the JSESSIONID from a message and provides it to the {@link Balancer}.	0..1

The highest-priority group with one or more healthy nodes (status UP) is chosen. If multiple nodes are healthy at that priority, one is selected at random. If no nodes are UP, falls back to the first node in sorted order.	0..1
