So are you saying that I can't get what I want using TC 5.5? Is upgrading to TC 6 is the only option?

You need to do one or more of the following: 1) upgrade to TC 6.0 so that the Request and RequestFacade are in your ClassLoader hierarchy (in the default settings) 2) declare your webapp 'privileged' in your context.xml (giving access to the server ClassLoader). 3) I think all the info that you want is exposed by JMX, so use JMX to retrieve it. 4) use introspection to grab the fields. On 5.5 this will be painful, since you have to use introspection everywhere (none of the classes will be in your ClassLoader hierachy) 5) change your catalina.properties file to have the same hierachy as TC 6 (but will get over-written on upgrades). > Thanks, > ------------------------------------------ > Muthu Chandir > Sectra North America, Inc. > Phone: (800)307-4425 ext 222 > Email: mu-...@sectra.com > > > > From: > Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> > To: > Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: > 09/04/2009 10:28 AM > Subject: > Re: how to unwrap a Request from RequestFacade > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Bill, > > On 9/3/2009 10:47 PM, Bill Barker wrote: >> "Christopher Schultz" <ch...@christopherschultz.net> wrote in message >> news:4aa03ca3.4010...@christopherschultz.net... >> Muthu, >> >> On 9/3/2009 11:17 AM, muthu.chan...@sectra.se wrote: >>>>> I am using tomcat 5.5 and just wanted to write a simple servlet to > get >>>>> some information using StandardManager such as activeSessions, >>>>> expriedSessions, sessionCounter etc..
