I'm going to have to look more at this.
But that one's kind of "expensive".

Again I'm not the Tomcat expert here.
But it seems to me that if you are going to go that path, and use something that is not "officially" in either Tomcat or in the Servlet Spec, you run the risk of it stopping from working at some undeterminate moment/version in the future. Maybe you would do better rethinking your logic a bit, and see if there is not an easier way to determine who the client is, rather than by digging out the previous request data (of which there might not be any). You could for example pick up the IP of the customer and determine that way who he is, before even sending the login page. That could probably be done with a servlet filter.
How many different "customers" are we talking about ?
