Ron,

I have added my own valve to the jetspeed-pipeline inside the file
'jetspeed/WEB-INF/assembly/pipelines.xml'. My valve is being invoked
however, i am unable to read the username and password using the
RequestContext. Secondly, how can i configure so that my valve is invoked
first before any other valves in jetspeed-pipeline. My valve is being
invoked after login. 

MyValve code snippet: 
========================
public class MyLoginValidationValveImpl extends AbstractValve implements
Valve{

.....
public void invoke(RequestContext request, ValveContext context)
                        throws PipelineException {
                 
String un = request.getRequest().getParameter(LoginConstants.USERNAME)); //
does not get username
request.getRequestParameter(LoginConstants.USERNAME)); // does not get
username
}
===============================

Existing entries in pipelines.xml: 
====================
<bean id='pipeline-map' class='java.util.HashMap'>
    <meta key="j2:cat" value="default" />
    <constructor-arg>
      <map>
        <entry key='/portlet'>
          <value>portlet-pipeline</value>
        </entry>
        <entry key='/portal'>
          <value>jetspeed-pipeline</value>
        </entry>
        <entry key='/ajaxapi'>
          <value>ajax-pipeline</value>
        </entry>
        <entry key='/login'>
          <value>jetspeed-pipeline</value>
        </entry> ..............
=============================

I added my valve 'MyLoginValidationValve' to jetspeed-pipeline in below :

==============================
<bean id="jetspeed-pipeline"
class="org.apache.jetspeed.pipeline.JetspeedPipeline"
init-method="initialize">
    <meta key="j2:cat" value="default" />
    <constructor-arg>
      <value>JetspeedPipeline</value>
    </constructor-arg>
    <constructor-arg>
      <list>
        <ref bean="MyLoginValidationValve" />
        <ref bean="capabilityValve" />
        <ref bean="portalURLValve" />
        <ref bean="securityValve" />
        <ref bean="localizationValve" />
        <ref bean="passwordCredentialValve" />
        <ref bean="loginValidationValve" />
        <ref bean="profilerValve" />
        <ref bean="refreshUserHomepageValve" /> ...........
========================================

Thanks for your time.

Srini.
