Thank you Chris and Chuck for your replies. I tried to write a Custom Valve but please correct me if I am wrong: when writing a custom valve, - Extend the ValveBase class, Implement LifeCycle (not obligatory) - write invoke method implementation - compile and create its .jar file and put it in Catalina_Home/lib - point it using the context.xml or server.xml (depending on the choice at what lever to implement the Valve)
Please correct me if anythings going wrong here. @ Chris, Sorry but i dont quite understand what you meant by "Many of us get paid for our software work..." If you could give more pointers, that would be great. Since I am on short internship, I can try out a lot of things Or if you can give me a really basic idea to write a very basic Valve , that would be great. I will keep you updated if anything works out...
