We had the same issue with an app. Provided you remember that Tomcat re-uses threads, this isn't actually that much of a problem if all of your processing is done on the request's thread. Simply use a global class with a ThreadLocal (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/ThreadLocal.html) instance variable holding your extra data. Because of re-use, remember to nil the variable at the start of your processing, possibly even in a Filter if you're feeling paranoid. We took that approach. I'll be interested to hear of any others. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
