>As a best practice what's the best approach a Servlet as the controller or a Filter?
I'd say the Servlet. The single point servlet entrance is one of the j2ee best practices that has emerged over the years. Both Struts (apache.org) and Turbine (apache.org) uses this technique and in both it acts as a controller. I'm quite convinced that there are several other frameworks that uses the same approach.
