Jean-Frederic Clere [https://community.jboss.org/people/jfclere] modified the document: "Add a global valve in AS7 (7.2.x)" To view the document, visit: https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-47954 -------------------------------------------------------------- The global valve feature has been added by pull request #3326. To use it you need to put the valve class(es) in a jar and the jar in a module, tell do that with an example: Let's use the Tomcat RemoteAddrValve. In tomcat you would have something like in server.xml <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" deny="127.*"/> In AS7 in standalone.xml in the web subsystem: | | <valve name="myvalve" module="mymodule" class-name="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"> | | | <param param-name="deny" param-value="127.*"/> | | | </valve> | Or via the jboss-cli: ./valve=myvalve:add(class-name=org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve,module=mymodule,enabled=false) ./valve=myvalve:add-param(param-name=deny,param-value=127.*) ./valve=myvalve:write-attribute(name=enabled, value=true) /:reload The class needs to be in a jar (you can extract it for jbossweb.jar). jar xvf ./modules/org/jboss/as/web/main/jbossweb-7.2.0.Alpha3.jar org/apache/catalina/valves/RemoteAddrValve.class jar cvf myjar.jar org/apache/catalina/valves/RemoteAddrValve.class mkdir modules/mymodule mkdir modules/mymodule/main mv myjar.jar modules/mymodule/main add create the modules/mymodule/main/module.xml with the content: <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="mymodule">     <properties>         <property name="jboss.api" value="private"/>     </properties>     <resources>         <resource-root path="myjar.jar"/>     </resources>     <dependencies>         <module name="sun.jdk"/>         <module name="javax.servlet.api"/>         <module name="org.jboss.as.web"/>     </dependencies> </module> To test the valve start AS7 on 0.0.0.0 (bin/standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0) and use curl: curl -v http://localhost:8080/ http://localhost:8080/ * About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0) *   Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0) < HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden < Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 < Transfer-Encoding: chunked < Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:57:17 GMT < * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact * Closing connection #0 using curl and the hostname should give the normal AS7 page, if not try from a another box: [jfclere@neo6 ~]$ curl -v http://jfcpc:8080/ http://jfcpc:8080/ * About to connect() to jfcpc port 8080 (#0) *   Trying 10.33.144.3... connected * Connected to jfcpc (10.33.144.3) port 8080 (#0) < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 < Accept-Ranges: bytes < ETag: W/"2432-1353665779000" -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-47954] Create a new document in JBoss Web Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&a...]
