Hi, in r1164481 the notification of ServletRequestListeners was moved from StandardContextValve to StandardHostValve.
This causes issues for memcached-session-manager (msm) in combination with openwebbeans (OWB). In short, msm is an alternative session manager that uses memcached as for session storage. It uses a valve to track the start/end of a request, at the end of the request (at the end of valve.invoke) msm stores the session in memcached. OWB uses a ServletRequestListener to prepare the session for failover support on requestDestroyed. With the change in tomcat (r1164481), OWB does no longer work with msm, as the ServletRequestListener is now invoked by StandardHostValve *after* msm has already writted the session to memcached - so the changes by OWB are lost. This is the issue in the OWB issue tracker btw: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-646 AFAIU the commit message it's completely intended that StandardHostValve now invokes StandardContext.fireRequestDestroyEvent. So I assume you're not going to change this again - or do you see alternative solutions for the problem that should be solved by this change? Assuming that you're not going to change StandardHostValve, what would you suggest how to integrate msm and OWB properly? Thanx in advance, cheers, Martin
