But you apparently didn't read the doc for java.util.regex, which is not
anything like the wildcards you tried to use:

or (if you want to be really finicky about it)
Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve
I looked at the javadocs for the RemoteAddrValve and they provided no
further clarity on the syntax issue.
You're right, my test case mistakenly returned a false positive, .* could
match anything its true and their is no common sense wildcard in the Java
Regex package. I looked at the javadoc
