If you get a better answer, go with it, but for what it's worth,
there's code like this in o.a.c.startup.ContextConfig:
// Instantiate a new CertificatesValve if possible
Valve certificates = null;
try {
Class clazz =
Class.forName("org.apache.catalina.valves.CertificatesValve");
certificates = (Valve) clazz.newInstance();
} catch (Throwable t) {
return; // Probably JSSE classes not present
}
It's theoretically possible to replace ContextConfig
using somthing like this in server.xml:
<Context configClass="my.very.own.ContextConfig" ... />
You'd need to double check if it works properly in 4.0.X,
there may have been some problems that are only fixed in
cvs HEAD. I'm not sure that would be such a good idea,
though. The standard config classes are tightly coupled
with their configurees, and it would be easy to break
obscure assumptions.

It would probably be a good idea to try this one out on
tomcat-dev. I'd include some details on what exactly
you're trying to do, and why, and what else you've
tried. There may be a less dangerous solution.
