Olle thanks, this is what I did:
public class RequestLoggingFilter implements HttpServletRequestFilter { public final RequestGlobals requestGlobals; public RequestLoggingFilter(final RequestGlobals requestGlobalss) { this.requestGlobals = requestGlobalss; } @Override public boolean service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, HttpServletRequestHandler handler) throws IOException { MDC.put("remoteIP", this.requestGlobals.getHTTPServletRequest().getRemoteAddr()); String s = this.requestGlobals.getHTTPServletRequest().getRequestedSessionId(); if (s == null) { s = ""; } MDC.put("sessionID", s); return handler.service(request, response); } } and in my AppModule.java public RequestLoggingFilter buildRequestLoggingFilter(final RequestGlobals requestGlobals) { return new RequestLoggingFilter(requestGlobals); } public static void contributeHttpServletRequestHandler( OrderedConfiguration<HttpServletRequestFilter> configuration, @InjectService("RequestLoggingFilter") HttpServletRequestFilter myfilter) { configuration.add("myfilter", myfilter, "before:*"); } but I feel I am missing something. Where do I put the code: MDC.remove("remoteIP"); MDC.remove("sessionID"); Thanks, Borut 2009/10/9 Olle Hallin <olle.hal...@hit.se> > We do something similar.
