Might be easiest for you to look at the code yourself. In 6.0.18, the file of interest is: org/apache/catalina/manager/util/SessionUtils.java and the methods are guessUserFromSession() and guessLocaleFromSession(). For the user name, the manager uses the Session.getPrincipal() if available; if not, it tries the following Session attribute names: Login User userName UserName Utilisateur using the given case, lower case, and upper case. Failing that, it searches for attributes that are instances of java.security.Principal or javax.security.auth.Subject. For locale, the manager tries the following attribute names: org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver.LOCALE javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale Locale java.util.Locale again using the given case, lower case, and upper case. Additional checks are made for an attribute name containing both "tapestry" and "engine", and instances of java.util.Locale. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
