1. As far as request has passed through Mapper, it knows to what application (Context) and even to what servlet (Wrapper) it goes to. This happens rather early - in CoyoteAdapter. It happens before the request is passed to Pipeline (chain of valves). org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#getContext() 2. If valve was declared in context.xml, it knows what its parent is. > > In the context of a Valve doing AAA - and the fact that the OP wants to get > the authenticated user-id at the app level, I think Michael-O's answer is > better, no ? > Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
