the only you have to do is to inherite the authenticator scheme from Tomcat and re-write the methods...that's all, in the manual is explained how and which class you have to extend...
Guido. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Kha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 4:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TC4.01: custom Authenticator Hi, I'm interested in writing my own Authenticator implementation. My question is, after writing my own implementation, how do I tell Tomcat 4.01 to use my own custom Authenticator (and if possible without changing Tomcat's source)? I know that to use the standard authenticators, I add the appropriate lines in the web.xml file but I haven't found a way to change that to support my own. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dan NOTE to anyone thinking of extending FormAuthenticator or BasicAuthenticator, you need to get the cvs source since the Tomcat 4.01 distribution declared those classes as "final". -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
