Tim, The getHeader methods does not return any reference to any kind of header object which I could modify. I would have to create my own setHeader method instead. There has to be an easier way to do this.
Any other ideas? -Joshua -----Original Message----- From: Tim Funk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 7:34 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Is it possible to add header values to the request (not the respo nse)? You can do this via a Filter and HttpServletRequestWrapper, where your imlpementation of HttpServletRequestWrapper will extend the needed getHeader methods to send the additional stuff you need. -Tim White, Joshua A (HTSC, CASD) wrote: > Hey all, > > My production application uses a site minder web agent.
