Darren, I'm currently using the security filter in my Struts based app in conjunction with a JDBC realm. It works seemlessly. My only qualm at this point is I can't get the security filter to work with MD5 digesting, although Max Cooper is looking into it and may add support in the near future. Otherwise I would definitely recommend it. Let me know if you have any additional, specific questions.

Not sure what all you need to achieve but this project provides a fairly extensible Security module. You can find it at: http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Todd G.
