--- Comment #14 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- Remy, whether these classes are included or not, Valve authors can write their own wrapper classes and wrap the Coyote request and response objects in them. The only thing that is happening here is that Tomcat is providing the wrapper classes instead of the Valve author having to write them manually. Please note that these classes do nothing -- just like HttpServletWrapper. They are expected to be a base class for extension so that the Valve author can override whatever capabilities are appropriate for their use case. This could be something simple like suppressing the transmission of a header value, hooking-into the setStatus method, etc. (I honestly don't understand your objections, having read them several times. The main objection seems to be "they haven't been available before... why bother making them available now?" i.e. placing the burden of proof on someone else to settle the dispute. Your offer to change the documentation to support your position is a bit underhanded.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
