Hi, You can modify some things in a Valve, such as request headers. Modifying the request content itself is trickier. I haven't tried to do that in a Valve, but since tomcat is open you can always modify the connector if you're hell-bent on going this way.
Consider a Filter (javax.servlet.Filter) rather than a Valve if you need to modify headers or otherwise customize the request. A Filter in combination with an HttpServletRequestWrapper is not only effective and flexible, but also more portable than a Valve because it's not specific to Tomcat.
