Yes, the remoteAddress member is protected. So you can only access it if you put your class in the same package.
I thought of doing it like a filter (wrapping) but it does not look like a workable solution in this case. 1. The request class is final (which basically ends the discussion :) 2. This class is not a simple placeholder for values or a wrapper. It is a heavy object that is recycled at the end of the request processing and contains a lot of code. I don't have any intention to get into Tomcat internal resource management and object recycling code. It seems pretty complicated. I don't think you can just replace a server object as you can do with a servlet request wrapper that is basically a proxy.

What variable? The remoteAddress member? > Is there any way to implement this Valve? Wrap the request object in a subclass that you write. This will allow you to either a) Override the setRemoteAddress method to return whatever you want b) Explicitly set the remoteAddress member to whatever you want - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrEzh0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAmqwCeJpvyj0k9Ze+QKLkyRNqfpvzp nccAniLAI/gdF65qw9EF6HLsXqcSgacP =S2JM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
