Since you are already programming against Tomcat internals, the simplest is probably to write a Valve instead of a ServletRequestListener. The Valve will have access to all Tomcat internal Objects, and so could get to the Manager fairly simplily. > Thanks. > > Nolan > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
