Nathan, Struts actually uses a Servlet rather than a Filter. But you are right about Filters in general -- requests can pass through as many filters as you have configured. If you have both SecurityFilter and Struts in the same app, SecurityFilter will always be called first (when the request URL matches the url-patterns for both).
