how to set up Valve for a directory

[zhicheng wang <wa...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Dear all

i need to protect a subdirectory and a serlet by
resticting the requesting IP. I can use Valve to
control the whole site, a context. but do not know how
to do this  to a subdirectory and a servlet.

any help is highly appreciated.

thanks
cheng

You don't say what Tomcat version you're running, but if it's 4.1 or
later you can take advantage of a "servlet filter" (quoted for easy
Googling).  They're part of the servlet spec, which makes them portable.

Depending on what you're doing, you may even be able to replace that
Valve with a filter.
