Hello Mohit, You can use this RemoteIpValve (1) on Tomcat 6.0.18, you just have to drop the xebia-tomcat-extras-1.0.0.jar (2) in your Tomcat lib directory.
This version is being used on several web sites including high volume ones. If you can wait few days, a new version of Tomcat 6 including this valve will hopefully be released very soon ; vote has started on the tomcat-dev mailing list just before christmas. Don't hesitate to ask questions if the docs aren't clear enough, Hope this helps, Cyrille -- Cyrille Le Clerc clecl...@xebia.fr http://blog.xebia.fr (1) http://code.google.com/p/xebia-france/wiki/RemoteIpValve (2) http://xebia-france.googlecode.com/files/xebia-tomcat-extras-1.0.0.jar On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 4:52 PM, Mohit Anchlia <mohitanch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I found this site > > http://code.google.com/p/xebia-france/wiki/RemoteIpValve > > Can I directly download and install it in 6.0.18? > > On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 7:41 AM, Mohit Anchlia <mohitanch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Could you please point me to an example of how I can do this?
