Hello, I'm interested in the project idea on implementing JSR 196 specification for Tomcat. I've used Tomcat for some time, but as I'm not very much familiar with its internals or JSR 196 spec, I'm in the process of getting familiarized with them at the moment.
While searching the dev mailing list archive regarding this idea, I found a several months old mail thread [1] regarding a Jaspic implementation started by David Jencks. Basically it says about rewriting web security with Realms replaced with a Security valve, and a reply [2] in that thread says that JSR 196 implementation was not among the mandatory stuff at that time. I also saw that there was an effort to replace Valves with Filters as a GSoC project last year, which interferes the above idea of replacing Realm with a valve (this might not be a serious problem anyway). Since above is a relatively old discussion, I'd really appreciate if someone can clarify the current situation and also any viewpoints/comments regarding this GSoC idea.
