I didn't really think about this scenario. There's no direct interaction between the two valves. For the current implementation, if the valve in the context has its config file in /WEB-INF/rewrite.properties, it will use that. If not, it will try to use conf/Catalina/localhost/rewrite.properties (the valve defined on the host will only look there). But there's no rule inheritance or something like it. The two rewrite valves will do their processing only once (the valve has a thread local boolean to avoid rewriting more than once per request). If both valves do a rewrite, here's the processing (assuming the mapping of the host and context doesn't change, since the request is pretty much allowed to bounce between hosts and contexts as long as rewriting occurs in each host or context): adapter (mapping 1) -> rewrite in host -> adapter (mapping 2) -> rewrite in context -> adapter (mapping 3) -> webapp Rémy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
