The servlet filter was put in a hidden place because, theoretically at least, a reverse proxy should be able to do the changes in the returned html itself. Apache mod-proxy has a filter module that does exactly that, on my Linux system the package is: libapache2-mod-proxy-html - Apache2 filter module for HTML links rewriting So I don't have a direct insight in what the issue with the servlet filter might be, and I invite you to open a ticket on jira.codehaus.org, but the above might be an alternative solution.
