Identifying source jars matching a particular Tomcat version

[Chiranga Alwis <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have been working on developing a new SSO valve to enable Single Sign On
capability by extending the org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn
class.

In this attempt, I have been trying to use an existing Apache Tomcat
distribution. Based on my initial understanding, I am attempting to add
this newly created valve jar to the lib folder of Apache Tomcat
distribution. Hence, I will be able to use the existing, depending jars
within the distribution's lib folder to run the custom jar.

Hence, is it a must for me to identify the matching jar versions used
within the particular Tomcat version and use exactly the same version
dependencies during development of the valve or is it not necessary to use
matching versions? If so, from where can I find the matching version values
corresponding to each Tomcat version?

Any help with regards to this issue and further ideas and suggestions on my
attempt  are highly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Chiranga
