While it's in the sandbox (or in jakarta-commons if it gets promoted), the
base package name really needs to follow the Commons conventions (i.e.
"org.apache.commons.filters" for a package named "Filters"). If this is
ever promoted to a full-fledged Jakarta package like Taglibs, it will need
to be repackaged -- this is what happened to Cactus when it was promoted.
Is there really a need for sub-packages for individual filters? Nearly
all of the ones proposed so far are single classes, so having them
together would seem reasonable -- this is how commons-collections is set
up, and doesn't seem to cause any grief. For Filters that require some
supporting classes (or where there is a set of Filters that might be used
together), a subpackage is reasonable.
I don't see a need for "servlet.filters" versus "filters" -- the proposal,
and the Javadocs once we have some code -- make it very clear that these
are filters in the Servlet 2.3 sense of the word (i.e. they all implement
javax.servlet.Filter).
