• Trace IP Addresses Making requests to the Server for Security Analysis.
• Calculate Time Taken for each request for Performance Tuning Purposes.
• Capture Request Header,Request Attributes,Parameters and Cookies for HTTP Debugging and 3rd Party Integration.
• Customizable Patterns and Group Patterns for general Usage.
• Capture the Entire Data in the Request Pipeline .
• No need to repeat code in each application Since,The Valve will affect the entire Container and all the applications Deployed in the Server.
• The jar files emitted from this project can be loaded to the Tomcat Server runtime alongside Servlet , Catalina and Coyote Api.
• Platform Independent.Can run on any jre.
• Easily Configurable- Put the jar file in server classpath and make one line entry in server.xml.
• Online Support Available .
• Capture User details making the request.
• Capture Protocol details such as HTTP Status Codes.
• Capture Session ID such as JSESSIONID etc.
• Capture Request Processing Thread details of each indivicual Request.
• Code is extendible to build more features .
• Reduces Development and Debugging time drastically.
