You have to have a way to set (or not) a request attribute in order to use conditionIf/conditionUnless. One way to do it without writing any of your own code is to use url-rewrite, which is more like url-do-whatever: http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ You can configure that to set request attributes under certain criteria. Just have it set (or not) whatever attribute name you use for your conditional logging and you should be good to go. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU3iZ0AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYWwgQAJ5DbuAXSfLFsrEW28fO8o3s BaSlltKTATrxY1LqBHGl/6HHTxs9qedE2LWRfoF6532GtVBB8bhWkb4pu/UWmO5x mVCsfHPL3EOpAeCioXnavm17O+7+fs/dYiaXHqynLQlINUTTvUnMgXYciBtIsMGx O8NPRRSrL8LZu2jD6VC0z3ruvvfq3aXFhyvTaBQWxme1OuETmu1LudVt9CrHA1ZY e9Mj4QM3GoXcZJwDH/ZbTQJUymEgXQNj3tyLYqPT6FuMLOGHTDJ9ok9kKxyw461p 9a73H6HpDSCCG3zc/eAudW7YPkxyjM0zez/B0PrGrz28zp5nnrqgFWzHvAIzVD/W 8F0+GBrHebMBlQ9nU1SQChq2mveDJ38kIq7mdm8j4Ncl2Y8W3Umq6YUWSGh3MNmG EtX4KpXE2gT+k5JuCI1E3v+6B/jP+1cv4onjN6y7ZaYjd3fM4nAQWA5N9K/xmPaO qgj4obHTFM76iseit5KgkRihJNAsCLmiQVqQ9KsJUKZe16xMcTLcLh3SAZRW+f07 JJmNiKipaHBpOhWwXH4ZN6CIfXOsx/MKn3o+FjQzodSkv6/6E3l2J4niemy7xIY7 z+ywCKa2ij6mFYHnmmfJEBdZ+5r19ESLasJPP5OdpFHbczY3o0LamYkuXQ9fzENU 89hMIQXCyw7qCmlTfvCF =EZML -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
