Have you tried calling getRemoteUser() on the HttpRequest object? If the
authentication for MySQL is done with basic auth style authentication, the the
user should be set and passed to tomcat.
You can use that to query the rest of the data from the database. If you want
to pass more data in, you will need to write a CGI on the web server to make a
URL containing the data and redirect to it. You may also be able to set it in a
COOKIE and let the web browser pass it back to the app server.

Subject: Apache2.x and Tomcat5.0.x Session' data
hi everyone,
i was just wondering how i can pass user's session data from Apache to Tomcat
and visversa:
an example:
Im restricting access to a directory secret/* with Apache Authentication on
Mysql (AAOM)
Inside that directory ther is a link to one of my servlets what i want is to
pass the user's data already collected after the log in against AAOM (username,
etc ...) to that servlet
ill be glade for any ideas how i can perform this ps im using mod_jk which mean
im using tomcat only as a servlet container behind apache since the most data
iam serving is a static data
Thanks in Advance
Sincerly
Yassine ELassad
