Regarding request/response header processing

[Dinesh Sarkar]

Hi, I am working in a project where I have been asked to either add some new headers in request(HttpServletRequest) or set new headers in response and then in some other resource fetch the newly set header values.
Can anybody please suggest ?

Many Thanks in advance .

You cannot modify the request headers coming into you from the client (browser). However, you can modify and add headers in the response object.

Thanks Bosun. Actually my idea was like that.

Take a look at the HttpServletRequestWrapper and Filter interfaces.

You can use a Filter to substitute a wrapped request to give the effect of modified request headers.
