Feedback provided in the GSOC app and repeated below. Feel free to discuss your
ideas regarding these questions on the dev list.

Feedback:
Good first draft. There are a coupe of areas I would like to see more detail on:
1. Impact of Servlet 3 and async processing.
2. The filter requires a ServletContext at initialisation. How might you
handle this for a filter defined at the Engine/Host level?
3. Authentication will require access to Tomcat internals. Is a filter the
right solution for these valves? What might a better approach be? What
about JSR 196?
I would also suggest you spend a little time to build Tomcat from source
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk). Once you have Tomcat building,
I'd suggest looking at the AccessLogValve and how that might be converted to a
Filter to give you a better ide of the issues involved and how long things might
take.
