             Bug #: 51637
           Summary: Lifecyclebase.start() method should be non-final
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: anilsaldh...@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


If we need to have deeper integration with the web container security, then
there is a need to extend the default Tomcat Authenticators.  This is what we
have done in project PicketLink where we bring SAML based Web Browser SSO to
Tomcat Applications.

As highlighted by our user in
http://community.jboss.org/thread/170430?tstart=0,  there is a JVM byte code
verification error now that the Lifecyclebase.start() method has been made
final.

This affects all valves/authenticators users are going to write. The start()
method is usually overriden such that the valve/authenticator can do
initialization before they are started via super.start().
