Hello,

I am using Tomcat 4.02 with Apache (WARP connector) and also with direct 
HTML access to tomcat.

I would like to implement my own mechanism of keeping track of user sessions:
in project a) making use of a special HTTP header generated by a load 
balancer in front of the servers
in project b) using virtual path-coded session ids 
(   http://www.blah.com/23XJD89Jd/ady/virtual_rest_of_path ) with a servlet.

In Tomcat Version 3 that was rather easy because of the "request 
interceptor". I didn�t find a concept equal to this in tomcat 4. Instead 
the session tracking seems to be handled individually in each connector - 
but without a "callback" to configure in my user code.

I think patching the original sources would help but isn�t the finest 
solution. Can I achieve this by coding something into "valves"? But as far 
as I can see, "valves" are called when the connector has already done the 
session management, am I right?

Thank you an bye...
