Howdy, Of the three options I'd suggest, valves would be least preferred by me as they're tomcat-specific:
1. Copy the filter classes and declaration into each webapp where you need it. 2. Copy the filter classes to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib or commons/classes, put the filter declaration in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml. Check your logs for errors if this is what you've already done and it doesn't work. 3. Valves.
