Abid, The server web.xml is processed before the application web.xml, so it should work. You'll need to ensure the filter class is available to all webapps, so /common/lib (for a jar) or /common/classes(for a .class) is where I'd recommend.
You'll need to use a filter map such as "*". Why not give it a try and let us know what happens.
