In which case I could direct the internal clients to this unprotected url directly without using a filter. I'd like to not have 2 copies of the app running as there is global state in there that I would have to sync between instances. Can I write a custom valve that does this by alters the role ? Would this be a matter of defining a new class, say org.apache.catalina.valves.ValveMine and bundling it with the war, or would it need to go in a jar in CATALINA_HOME/libs? All I need to know then is how to change the role within the Valve. -Bruce
