Hi, additional Info:
I moved the two valves in a DefaultContext tag at the end of the host definition. <DefaultContext> <Valve className="de.tccproducts.valves.PenFrameworkAuthenticationValve" /> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator" /> </DefaultContext> </Host> Now there are no exceptions any more. But my own valve is never called.
