I don't know if you've considered this, but why not just make a Filter (ala Servlet 2.3) instead of a valve? They are more "portable" to other containers and should have less quirky behavior than you see now with valves. I use a filter to do a very similar operation where I check the session

Mmm. It would appear I can only get the session if the value is defined in the Context in server.xml. Ie I cannot define it in the default location in server.xml (where the catalina SingleSIgnOn is commented) and expect it to work. Is this correct? And if so, can I achieve what I want to, ie
