http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12428 request.getUserPrincipal(): Misinterpretation of specification? ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-09-29 02:30 ------- I don't see anything in the 2.3 spec that precludes the way that Tomcat handles this. The 2.4 spec is a bit more ambiguous, so I'm going to have to try to get a clarification from the expert-group before marking this as INVALID. As a work-around, try using a simple Filter something like: public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)req; Principal userPrin = request.getUserPrincipal(); if(userPrin == null) { HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); Principal myPrin = (Principal)session.getAttribute ("com.myfirm.MyPrincipal"); if(myPrin != null) { req = new MyAuthRequest(myPrin); } } else { HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); session.setAttribute("com.myfirm.MyPrincipal", userPrin); } chain.doFilter(req, res); } static class MyAuthRequest extends HttpServletRequestWrapper { Principal myPrin; MyAuthRequest(Principal prin) { myPrin = prin; } public Principal getUserPrincipal() { return myPrin; } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
