To begin with, unless you are planning to submit your valve as a patch for inclusion, I wouldn't recommend putting it in org.apache.anything.
Since Valves run inside the server, not inside the web app, they need to be in the server classpath. You can either do what you did or edit catalina.properties. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 4:48 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How Do I Install A Valve Through some trial and error, I solved the problem. The class file apparently needs to be under CATALINA_HOME/server/classes. If one bundles it into a jar file, the jar needs to be in CATALINA_HOME/server/lib. I'm real new to Tomcat, so I don't know if this is really the place to put it. Is there anyone who can advice on "best practices"? Is there a better (or another) place to put this valve?
