If you are using a pre-built Valve, some of the Tomcat Valves are already available as Filters which you can configure in your webapp's web.xml instead of context.xml, which may be more convenient for you. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/qE0EACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBEwwCcDpC7QI+oZjgF5GP02XgXdnGD kt8Aniek5TU7OqrzEGV5pFsOV7xv/ryL =7SDf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
