Thanks for the response.  To be more clear, I'm developing unit tests
for code that takes ServletRequests / HttpServletRequests as input,
but don't run inside Tomcat at all (they're essentially helpers for
servlets).  I want to mimic what Tomcat does to create the Request
object (but perhaps only for selected fields).

Does the MemoryProtocolHandler suggestion apply here?

Thanks!
Aditya

Well, you pretty much have to use o.a.c.c.Request in 5.5 ;-).  You can look
at CoyoteAdapter to see how to set them up.

IMHO, it would be easier to implement your tests using something like the
MemoryProtocolHandler (in connectors/coyote), and let Tomcat worry about the
HttpRequest.
