Hi,
I am currently looking for the best solution for the following problem:
in our application, when a user gets authenticated we need to perform specific tasks (I use standard j2ee web authentication, form based). The idea is to plug a servlet between the j2ee web authentication mecanism, and the actual servlet handling the request.
I was looking at interceptors, but I am not sure anymore if it is the best solution, as to my understanding:
1. a request interceptor is called at each request, although I only need it after a specific interceptor (currently the LDAP authentication one, but there could be other cases in the future) and
2. this system is going to disappear with the next tomcat generation (going to be valves).
Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thanks,
jorg
