My only concern is that we end up having an idea for some other type of filter, not web servlet related and maybe even more generic. Then having Servlet filers in a "o.a.j.commons.filters" will get confusing.
Lets also consider that the official Servlet 2.3 filter interfaces are placed in the "javax.servlet" package and not at "javax.filters". BTW, I would not mind "org.apache.jakarta.commons.servlet" but this would be ok for other web-server related components too. Have fun, Paulo Gaspar > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig R.
