Hi,
I want to protect the manager and the admin webapps in my Tomcat installation from
requests originating outside my company - and setting a RemoteHostValve for the
manager and the admin context seems the way to go.
Therefore I've changed my server.xml file, changing the context entry for the admin
webapp (manager will be next) to look like this:
<Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext" crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper"
useNaming="true" debug="0" swallowOutput="false" privileged="true"
displayName="Tomcat Administration Application"
wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper"
docBase="d:/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/server/webapps/admin" cookies="true"
path="/admin" cachingAllowed="true"
charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="0"
verbosity="1" prefix="localhost_admin_log." directory="logs" timestamp="true"
suffix=".txt"/>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteHostValve"
allow="*.ubis.local,*.ubis-ag.com"/>
</Context>
Looks pretty straightforward to me, the documentation does not say a look about this
type of valve, but from what it says, my valve should be okay.
However, starting Tomcat gives me an error message:

Am I missing something? Some other files, etc. to check? Any help is appreciated.
