Ok... do you need them to modify the request and/or response? Or are
you trying to pull some information from the original tomcat internals?
I first assumed you were attempting to modify the request or response,
so a wrapper is ideal. All you have to do is create a class that
extends HttpServletRequestWrapper or HttpServletResponseWrapper and
override the methods you want. Then in the filter, just instantiate
your request or response class with the original request or response in
the constructor. When you chain to the next filter, just pass on the
new request and response objects.

That's the point, I don't know much about request/response wrapping.
I don't need the Facade itself, what I need are the "real" Catalina
Request/Response objects hidden behind it. I don't know how to get
them from inside a Filter.

May I ask what exactly you want to do with the facade? Seems like you
could do what you want with a request or response wrapper instead.

Hello,
I'v been using a valve to perform license checking in my web
application. The method invoke(Request request, Response response) had
access to the Request and Response objects, allowing me to perform
some advanced operations. For instance, I made use of instructions
like:
Session catalinaSession = request.getSessionInternal(false);
catalinaSession.access();
or
Session[] managedSessions = request.getContext().getManager().findSessions();
Now, I'm moving the license validation code to a Filter. How do I
access org.apache.catalina.connector.Request/Response in the method
doFilter()? I see that I can only cast to a RequestFacade object:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest sRequest, ServletResponse
sResponse, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
RequestFacade cRequest = (RequestFacade) sRequest;
......
but now, I cannot use the Facade to access the Request. How can I
solve this problem? Is it desirable accessing Catalina specific object
from a Filter? Should I rewrite my code/ redesign my license
validation framework? It is a very complex one, hance it may require
some effort. May you redirect me to some useful articles/resources?
Many thanks
