Subject: Reg: Tomcat valve


Hi all,

I'm trying to implement a custom tomcat valve. My application server is
JBoss 4.0.5GA with Tomcat 5.5. I created a class,
"RenewSession.java" extending ValveBase.java and I declared
the valve in the server.xml as follows.


<Host name="localhost" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false"
deployXML="false">
      <Valve className="com.alcatel.ni.html.login.RenewSessionValve" />
      <DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"
/>
</Host>

In my project, I'm want to use the valve along with a servlet filter.
The flow is suppose to be like this

Valve -&amp;gt; Login filter -&amp;gt; Page servlet -&amp;gt; etc..

My problem is that, I'm getting the request in my Valve but it is not
proceeding to the filter. Can anyone help me on this. Its really urgent.


Regards
Shenaz

PS: Please find below my Valve code.

[code]public class RenewSessionValve extends ValveBase {

 public void invoke(Request request, Response response) throws
IOException, ServletException {

  if
(req.getRequestURI().contains(&amp;quot;/portal/j_security_check&amp;quo
t;)) { // step 1: save old session
   Session oldSession = request.getSessionInternal(true);
   SavedRequest saved = (SavedRequest)
oldSession.getNote(Constants.FORM_REQUEST_NOTE);

   // step 2: invalidate old session
   request.getSession(true).invalidate();
   request.setRequestedSessionId(null);
   request.clearCookies();

   // step 3: create a new session and set it to the request
   Session newSession = request.getSessionInternal(true);
   request.setRequestedSessionId(newSession.getId()); // step 4: copy
data pointer from the old session
   // to the new one

   if (saved != null) {
    newSession.setNote(Constants.FORM_REQUEST_NOTE, saved);
   }
  }
 }
}[/code]
