Hello,

There are some default valves available with Tomcat. None of these expose the request to later phases in the request cycle. Is it an idea to add a valve that does this? And make this available through a callback in the jaas loginModule. Just like WebLogic and Websphere do it. Or just use a static threadlocal variable in the valve with a static getter.

Why?
If the jaas login module needs to communicate anything to the filter or other request phases this is needed. When the request is available this info can (for example) be added to the session. Or when someone wants to use request info for jaas authentication this could also be used.

Thanks for any ideas or comments.

MAG,
Milo van der Zee
