I was going to try a hack and use reflection to reset the input stream, but then I thought otherwise cause I'm sure that's probably just plain wrong. I'm stumped on this one, it seems folks have modified the "body" but I'm thinking they could have only done this on the response back up the chain. There appears to be no way to do this, to modify the request body, from what I can see, going down the chain to the servlet. // org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade // org.apache.catalina.connector.Request // org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream // org.apache.catalina.connector.InputBuffer // org.apache.coyote.Request (accessed by attribute org.apache.tomcat.request by trusted apps)
