Hi all, I'm trying to fiddle about a bit with filters in Tomcat 4.0.3 connected to Apache 1.3.19 using mod_webapp. The connection is fine, as other servlets and jsp's are continuing to run perfectly fine. I have a filter that takes a servlet request/reponse pair and wraps the request using a HttpServletRequestWrapper. That HttpServletRequestWrapper re-implements the getParameter(String s) method. The first line in this new getParameter() is a System.out.println that echoes the parameter being requested (for debugging purposes). However, that println never seems to appear, either in the catalina.out or on the console when run using the 'run' rather than the 'start' command. The reason for wanting to do that debugging is that the wrapper is there to provide a layer over a servlet. The servlet performs certain activities based on a single request parameter. To provide a simple interface, filters are being used to allow different methods of specifying what to perform, so each filter looks at a separate parameter, and returns an appropriate value when the original parameter is request - The servlet asks for parameter 'x', so the wrapper looks at parameter 'y' and returns an appropriate value for x. The problem was that the modifications from 'y' were never returned, so I wanted to check that the new method was being called. Can anyone give me a reason why this System.out line is disappearing into the ether? Thanks all, Lloyd Colling This email and any attachments are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
