Re: Adding Tomcat Valve specific web apps
Ok, I figured out how to get this to work!
I leave my existing Tomcat Valves that are defined in my config.xml as is.
I then add the web-app specific Tomcat Valve as a GBean in my
geronimo-web.xml, and reference that GBean from the <valve-chain> element.
So my original valves are defined in config.xml as follows:
---
<gbean name="FirstValve">
<attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve</attribute>
<attribute name="initParams">prefix=0.0.0.0_access_log.
suffix=.txt
pattern=common</attribute>
<reference name="NextValve">
<pattern>
<name>SecondValve</name>
</pattern>
</reference>
</gbean>
<gbean gbeanInfo="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ValveGBean"
name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=SecondValve">
<attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn</attribute>
</gbean>
---
My web-app specific Tomcat Valve is then defined in the geronimo-web.xml
for my web-app like this:
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web/tomcat-1.1"
xmlns:naming="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.1"
xmlns:security="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/security-1.1"
xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1">
<cross-context />
<valve-chain>BasicAuthValve</valve-chain>
<security-realm-name>MaintenixRealm</security-realm-name>
<sys:gbean name="BasicAuthValve"
class="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ValveGBean">
<sys:attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator</sys:attribute>
<sys:attribute
name="initParams">disableProxyCaching=false</sys:attribute>
</sys:gbean>
</web-app>

Is the <valve-chain> element supposed to refer to a GBean valve name? I've
tried this but I'm getting deployment errors.
I have defined the following valve chain in my config.xml
----
<gbean name="FirstValve">
<attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve</attribute>
<attribute name="initParams">prefix=0.0.0.0_access_log.
suffix=.txt
pattern=common</attribute>
<reference name="NextValve">
<pattern>
<name>SecondValve</name>
</pattern>
</reference>
</gbean>
<gbean
name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=SecondValve"
gbeanInfo="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ValveGBean">
<attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn</attribute>
</gbean>
<gbean
name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=BasicAuthValve"
gbeanInfo="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ValveGBean">
<attribute
name="className">org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator</attribute>
<attribute
name="initParams">disableProxyCaching=false</attribute>
<reference name="NextValve">
<pattern>
<name>FirstValve</name>
</pattern>
</reference>
</gbean>
----
The config.xml defines a default valve chain consisting of "FirstValve" and
"SecondValve". Now, in certain specific web apps, I want to define the
<valve-chain> element in the geronimo.web.xml so that I can extend this
valve chain with another valve, but just for the specific web app. In the
geronimo-web.xml, I will add the following element:
----
<valve-chain>BasicAuthValve</valve-chain>
----
I'm hoping that this "pre-appends" the BasicAuthValve valve to the valve
chain, since the BasicAuthValve has the "FirstValve" as a GBean reference.
As I stated before, I'm getting a deployment error when this occurs:
----
[java] The service
[java]
J2EEApplication=Mxi/Maintenix/1/ear,j2eeType=WebModule,name=induction.war
[java] did not start because
[java]
Mxi/Maintenix/1/ear?J2EEApplication=Mxi/Maintenix/1/ear,WebModule=induction.war,j2eeType=TomcatValve,name=BasicAuthValve
[java] did not start.
----
It seems that the deployer is trying look for the BasicAuthValve GBean in
the web app itself. Anybody have any ideas on how I can get this working?
Thanks,
Aman
