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.
