Don't forget to override getDateHeader and getIntHeader in your wrapper
class. Also, don't forget that some headers can have multiple values,
which your code does not allow:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getHeaders(java.lang.String)
Yes, I know, shame on me. It is mentioned as a limitation in the sample
filter code however. For the real filter this one comes from, I know
the application that follows, so I know I can afford to do this.
Note that your strategy is the same as my original suggestion to the OP.
I know that too.
It's just that you evidently are a much better Java and Tomcat
programmer than many of us, and sometimes your responses seem to be
overly concise for guys like me. So I tried an explanation for the masses.
I am very pleased and proud by the way that my explanation elicited only
the two remarks above, and was not shown down infamously.
;-)
After making that filter, I thought that it would have been more elegant
to check if the header requested by getHeader() was one I added, return
it in that case, and otherwise just call the getHeader() method of the
underlying HttpRequest object. But considering it was my first filter,
and that it worked, I was just too lazy and scared to go change it again.
