IMHO you shouldn't rely on Tomcat for that - use a firewall !!
It's just my personal opinion, don't want to argue - it is possible
to fix the code and add this to tomcat, but it's better to wait because
the protocol will change for sure ( bidirectional communication,etc),
and it would be nice to have something that is reusable.
