Is there a way to get access to request object without servlet?

[Libor Arndt <li...@gswdev.cz>]

I need to have access to request in a JAAS logim module.
Is there something similar in Tomcat like in JBosss:

PolicyContext.getContext(key)?

thanks a lot for any advice

Hi,

JBoss implements this with ThreadLocal-Variables.
Tomcat does not use them like JBoss, but you can quite easily do it by 
yourself.
see java.lang.ThreadLocal

There may be pitfalls, mainly caused by the very limited lifetime of a request 
object. But for a loginModule this could be appropriate.

hope this helps

R.

If you're trying to implement JAAS, one would assume you've read:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html#JAASRealm

?

You should be able to configure a filter or valve to process each
request.
