Thanks Chuck but SecurityFilter does exactly the opposite of what I want: "Security Filter is intended to be packaged within your web app, including your realm implementation and supporting classes. This allows you to deploy your app as a single, deployable unit (war file or expanded war directory structure) with no additional configuration of the server environment."
I want to manage security completely outside my app (outside the war file), not just outside web.xml. Maybe I wasn't clear enough on that regard.
