One thing I've just found out is that if I enable the <valve> RequestDumperValue</valve> The post data becomes available to the login.jsp.
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve"/> I'm going to have to look more at this. --- On Mon, 5/4/09, Sid Sidney <pvcsv...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Sid Sidney <pvcsv...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: How to make request parameters available to a login.jsp?

As I stated in an earlier reply, We use this data to personalize the look and feel of our application based on this data. This used to work in earlier versions of Tomcat. I'm affraid that you are right, and I am going to have to dig into the tomcat code. But I was hoping I won't have to do that. --- On Mon, 5/4/09, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: From: André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> Subject: Re: How to make request parameters available to a login.jsp?

I know because once a user successfuly sings in, the original "POST data" is available either from a jsp or servlet. The problem is that it is not available within the login.jsp page. Why would you need that strange thing ? ;-) Anyway, putting together Chuck's response and mine and yours, it appears that this POST data is thus stuffed away somewhere by Tomcat. You might be able to do some detective work, find out where, and go get it. It still sounds strange (to me) that you would need this at the moment of running your login.jsp though.. > --- On Mon, 5/4/09, Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > From: Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> > Subject: RE: How to make request parameters available to a login.jsp? > To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Monday, May 4, 2009, 2:02 PM > >> From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] >> Subject: Re: How to make request parameters available to a login.jsp? >> >> Except that it (usually) breaks down if the original request was a POST.
