			<title>Limit access by IP address</title>
			<para>Sometimes you&apos;ll only want to restrict access to to
				only
				specified host names or IP addresses. This way, only
				clients at
				those specified addresses can use the web services.
				Tomcat provides
				two configuration values for that:
				RemoteHostValve and
				RemoteAddrValve.</para>
			<para>These Valves allow you to filter requests by host name or
				by IP
				address, and to allow or deny hosts that match. The
				example below
				restricts access to the ArchiveService from any
				machine that is not
				the local host.</para>
			<programlisting language="xml">&lt;Context
				path=&quot;/XService/ArchiveService&quot;
				...&gt; &lt;Valve
				className=&quot;org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve&quot;
				allow=&quot;127.0.0.1&quot; deny=&quot;&quot;/&gt; &lt;/Context&gt;
			</programlisting>
			<para>If no allow pattern is given, then patterns that match
				the deny
				attribute patterns will be rejected, and all others
				will be allowed.
				Similarly, if no deny pattern is given,
				patterns that match the
				allow attribute will be allowed, and
				all others will be denied.
				</para>
			<para>The &lt;context&gt; element must be placed into the
				server.xml
				file (into &lt;engine&gt;&lt;host&gt;).</para>
