i am attempting the exact same thing, but have been advised it would be better to override the FormAuthenticator. this gives you direct access to the session.
the solution seems perfect, however, i i can't seem to get past classNotFound exceptions. i am not familiar with how to link catalina classes and the Class Loader docs are not giving me the answer. i have configured server.xml to contain my custom valve, the class which overrides FormAuthenticator. i have placed this class in common/classes. i get class not found exceptions on FormAuthenticator bcz my webapp is not able to reference the necessary objects in catalina.jar. please let me know if you get this solution to work. thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "awc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 4:41 PM Subject: Custom JDBCRealm > Hi, > > I want to add more stuff to user session while user logs in.
