Well, servlet filters are by definition tied to servlets, so ... it may be possible to write a generic 'filter' that tests some abstract concept of security, and then the servlet filter would leverage that. Since WW does include view-specific implementations of things (WebworkVelocityServlet, JSP tags, etc.) I'm not sure that a servlet filter would be considered out of scope. Plus, given webwork's name, most people will reasonably expect web-specific features.
