Thanks Bill, Does anyone have some docs about using this feature? I haven't been able to find much on the jakarta site. I'm a bit confused as to what the difference between a <valve> and a <filter> is. and which is the corret one to use. When i search for filter, i get info on <valve>s. I haven't found anything on how to use a <filter>.
Also, if i use a wrapper to extend the request/response objects, does that mean in a JSP page i would be able to access any extra methods i wanted to add.. such as.. -- in jsp file -- String value = request.doMyNewAction(param1); is it recommeded to use the catalina wrapper objects when working with tomcat or the javax wrappers? org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpRequestWrapper or javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper Thanks for the help, Rick -----Original Message----- From: Bill Barker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Extending HttpServletRequest / HttpServletResponse ??? It depends on the version. The answer is no for Servlet-2.2 containers (e.g. Tomcat 3.x). The answer is yes for Servlet-2.3 containers (e.g. Tomcat 4.x). In fact, for Servlet-2.3 containers it is one of the most common things that a Filter does. If you are using Tomcat 4.x, then look into HttpServletRequestWrapper and HttpServletResponseWrapper (both in the javax.servlet.http package).
