You can write a filter on the context and based on
request.getRemoteAddr()  do the processing

Subject: Filtering remote host access from web.xml


Hello, 

I want to limit access to a specific servlet based on the requesting clients
host name and address. I'm aware of the RemoteHostValve, but as I understand
the specification it can only be used by editing the server.xml file, and I
would prefer to have a method to control it in the web.xml file. 

Basically, what I'd need is a RemoteHostFilter, but i find no reference to a
such a creature. Of course I could write one myself, but I cannot imagine
that no one have had this problem before me. 

So, what is a good approach on this? 

(I'm using tomcat 4.1.31)

regards,
