Tomcat 8.0.38
In my Eclipse development environment when particular servlet requests are made
I want to simulate going through Shibboleth prior to Tomcat handling the
request. I wanted to see if this will work.
In Eclipse within each dynamic web application I would add a valve to the
context.xml file.
The valve would:
1) Check the URL request.
2) If the URL string matches a list then it will add particular name value
pairs to the request.
Example of a possible valve:
<Valve className="my.valves.ShibbolethSimulationValve" />
1) Can a valve actually identify a particular URL path?
2) Can a valve add an attribute to the request prior to the servlet
getting the request?
3) If item #1 and #2 will work does anyone have some base code for a value
that would get me started down the correct path?
Hi.
I think the best thing here is to point you to Google. If you search for
"HttpServletRequest immutable", you'll get a whole bunch of useful links.
There is also example code there.
The basic thing here, is that the HttpServletRequest object that you get originally, is
*immutable* (can't be modified, for example to add a header or add additional parameters).
So you have to "wrap" it with a HttpServletRequestWrapper, and then override some of the
standard methods in that wrapper.
