Your facade has to extend (Http)ServletRequestWrapper from the standard servlet-api. According to the spec, that is the only valid way to wrap a request. As you've seen, Tomcat enforces this restriction :).
"George Baxter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, For various and sundry reasons, I need to wrap the original HttpServletRequest with a facade of my own. I know that the HttpServletRequest exposed by Catalina is a RequestFacade object. I simply wrap my facade around this puppy. And... when my jsp attempts to render... boom: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.xxx.request.MyTestRequestFacade at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.unwrapRequest(ApplicationDispatcher.java:814) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doForward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:401) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.forward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:301) I tried to extend the RequestFacade, but cannot because the constructor requires a org.apache.catalina.connector.Request, and I cannot get a hold of that. Is there anything I can do to encourage tomcat to instantiate my request facade instead its own? Using Tomcat 5.5 at present.
