How do I specify wildcards in the RemoteAddrValue declaration?
The Tomcat docs says it uses the java.util.regex package, so i wrote a test
case like this:
String patternStr = "192.168.*.*";
String searchStr = "192.168.1.2";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(patternStr);
Matcher m = p.matcher(searchStr);
System.out.println("Does " + patternStr);
System.out.println("Match " + searchStr);
boolean b = m.matches();
System.out.println("Result: " + b);
Which returns true, however when I placed patternStr into my server.xml file
(following the conventions in the Tomcat docs of escaping the "." with \ ):
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="192\.168\.*\.*"/>
It didn't match, ie. I couldn't get in. I hard coded my current ip into the
above value and it worked, but I need to match any 192.168.*.* address.
How do specify this in server.xml?
Thanks
Setup:
Java 1.4.2
