Thanks for the advice. I had originally put my class in
org.apache.catalina.valves to avoid any problems with access to protected
fields and methods. After reading your reply, I studied the Tomcat classes
and determined that there would be no problems. So, I have moved my class
to my own package, bundled it into a jar, and put it in
CATALINA_HOME/server/lib. Works like a charm!

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.

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?
Thanks,

Hi.
I've written a Valve that I will configure inside the <Engine> element
in server.xml. I've made my valve class part of the
org.apache.catalina.valves package. My questions is this:
Where to I put the class file so that Tomcat can use it?
(I'm using Tomcat 5.0.27.)
