What Tim suggests IS an easy way to do the kludge you're trying to do.
Assuming you know the names of your two special headers, let's say
HEADER_X and HEADER_Y, simply overwrite getHeader in your wrapper such
that:
public String getHeader(String name) {
if(name.equals(HEADER_X)) {
return FAKE_HEADER_X_VALUE;
} else if(name.equals(HEADER_Y)) {
return FAKE_HEADER_Y_VALUE;
} else {
// return wrappedRequest.getHeader(name);
// return super.getHeader(name);
}
}
I had the commented out forms because either may apply depending on how
you code your wrapper: you pick.
You can also modify getHeaderNames() to include your fake headers if you
wish: that depends on how your authentication filter is written.
