This filter can then call > HttpServletRequest.login? Yes, this is exactly what I'm suggesting. I'm sure there are other ways to do it.

If it's being done in some other way, then this technique may not work. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJR6Cs4AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY+s8QAKL/f+wrnbsFQT+9sS6Yyx5i lIlKhNbM1/Ns7y363DoWD7fXUMWIalop83YCuAi0+Sldr0vlppvDmoBH5S6QRk4i ExEjOlRggZD5jLRTb2bQvWQec4b+9RoJvKM1Hq4HUbZ8Bal56a37mxb7yBxMz+Rn Xe3wD+E+AD3ux5Qig4GApDl0OMoufKuSS8LrA5AXGhbG4EFVuGZz141v6ildSh4S 5P8B3p3mPjO2UyeqbA/wUsXr8TOfFWRQEuiHCj1bTt+MAvp+XgcxbJpLxSSZ06Hq SFRo0CUOGjcv1vP/CziFnY/OtGlrduOnW7p52TJhYLq7uxVTZgEchANVi9ztL1TZ /2r9VLeftuszjVbEwTR4JwE5ZNdVPqdCrz2q9TLO1Cr+kMaw2sAhoiL2TLbtZZLW gUSgcXgB/zOipxMa9t3D7ZenUg09n2T22qTNmSGrpjBHwazisceyZLhsZXcUdDFF I89GqkdeSzHDWiyOdMcDPAQios2Bxe8z+LiDc+qfAyhT0VEEVXAG/ucsyHBGTUdN unJ22t3XLulCuON941XV0AcUm+lhVOuyMjsbxD/L0fFosVtoPH/zGEUf2ZVsTMC1 jq6qVSCJlLwccCOoMPeSd1MLQCgDgftJ6UYKune6JhVZ3l3ro5At4cpyYxxiOJbi t7VKPMLheCZvqZXO4AXa =O44G -----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
