tomcat-security-valves Javadocs

This provides Valve implementations to add response security headers to container managed security on Apache Tomcat. The valves may be implemented by adding them to the conf/context.xml file for all deployements on Apache Tomcat, or to the project context.xml as shown below:

    <!-- These can be replaced with the org.apache.catalina.filters.HttpHeaderSecurityFilter. -->
    <!-- However it does not secure container-managed-security. You must use a Valve to handle that case. -->

    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.ReferrerPolicyValve" />
    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.StrictTransportSecurityValve" />
    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.XContentTypeOptionsValve" />
    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.XFrameOptionsValve" />
    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.XSSProtectionValve" />
    <Valve className="com.bluelotussoftware.tomcat.security.valves.JSecurityCheckNoCacheValve" />

The binaries are deployed to Maven Central at the following coordinates:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.bluelotussoftware</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomcat-security-valves</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.5</version>
</dependency>

NOTE: The file should be installed in the Apache Tomcat /lib/ directory to be available for all applications. This applies even if you are using an individual context.xml per project to enable it.
