Ok, thanks to all:-) Guess my only other option is to either define a filter for each servlet for now, until 2.4 is prod ready, or as Max mentioned, and put all actions in need of authentication, within the members namespace. Both are a hassle of course as compared to a simple filter:-), but that's what we'll have to live with for now:-) Any idea of when the 2.4 spec and tomcat will be production ready? Thanks.

I believe Craig had mentioned before in Tomcat-User that the Filter chain is created once a request, which would not accommodate dynamic includes. Servlet 2.4 Specs http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/first/jsr154/ <http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/first/jsr154/> With 2.4, you can define lots more in your filter-mapping for includes, specific GET/POST requests etc. I'm finishing up a robust caching framework with the use of tags/filters, and the 2.4 features will really simplify filter functionality, even with Security Filters. -Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Sterin, Ilya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 10:54 AM To: 'Jacob Hookom '; ''Struts Users Mailing List' ' Subject: RE: Filters and Struts Hmmm, I'm successfuly using it with 2.3 just filtering jsp pages in a dir, but the forwards are not filtered. I can of course filter each individual servlet, but that undermines the whole filter cause, IMO, that way I can just use a authentication function in each servlet.
