+1. Good idea. To Roel: 1. See restoreRequest() method in org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator on how to restore a body of a request after reading it in a Valve. The method does a lot more (as it has to reset the whole request). Your task is a bit easier. 2. Top posting is bad. http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html#tomcat-users -> point "6."
