Tomcat valves act as preprocessors of each request for webapps. If we want to hook up our custom processing logic for requests, we can write a valve and register it globally for all webapps or locally for a webapp.
To register it locally for a webapp, in the Context.xml of the webapp register it as;
<Context>
.....
<Valve className="org.test.valve.MessageRecoveryTomcatValve"/>
.....
</Context>
To define the valve globally, register it in the catalina-server.xml file
< Engine>
<Host>
.........
<Valve className="org.test.valve.MessageRecoveryTomcatValve"/>
.......
</Host>
</Engine>
Tomcat listeners get notifications when there is any lifecycle state change occurs in a webapp.
This can be registered in the Context.xml of the webapp.
<Listener className="org.test.MyListener" context="GenericJavaBeanResource"/>
