[T3.2.1] differences between different Request classes

[Drasko Kokic <dr...@yahoo.com>]

Hi there,

I am trying to implement our SingleLogin architecture
using the Servlet API 2.2 recomendations.  

I would like to know why
org.apache.tomcat.core.Request
is not implementing methods from
javax.servlet.http.Request?

The error message is:

    [javac]
D:\Apache-Group\src\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1-src\src\share\org\apache\tomcat\request\CookieRealm.java:125:
Method getCookies() not found in interface
org.apache.tomcat.core.Request.
    [javac]         Cookie cookies[] =
request.getCookies();

and only work around is to use getCookie(i) method
?!?!

TIA
Drasko

I assume you really mean javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, right?

If so, the actual implementation classes for the servlet APIs are in
separate "facade" classes.  To get
ahold of one, simply call the getFacade() method on the Request object.

NOTE:  You should also know that Tomcat 4.0 already supports this
feature.
