Hi all, in production I'm still running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server which provides Tomcat 7.0.52, which doesn't contain the filter for HttpHeaderSecurity yet[1]. Some of my customers on the other hand use Windows and run newer versions of Tomcat which already support that filter. To not force customers to change global Tomcat settings and to document that my app is compatible, I would like to add HttpHeaderSecurity to the web.xml of my own app with the correct settings. That breaks in my own Ubuntus of course.
So, is there some way to get old and new Tomcats together if my app's web.xml uses that filter? Frist thing I tried was simply providing the implementation in the classpath of my own app, which didn't work. Should that work in theory and I most likely did something wrong or are those filters only expected to be in the classpath of Tomcat itself? I'm using "UrlRewriteFilter"[2] bundled with my app, configured in my web.xml and that works. Else, is there some condition for filters to only apply those depending on e.g. the version of Tomcat or such? The only similar question I found were pretty old and maybe things have changed since then. https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200808.mbox/<4893749f.3070...@ice-sa.com> Thanks for your input!
