Filtering remote host access in web.xml

[Fredrik Jonson <fr...@myrealbox.com>]

Hello, 

I want to limit access to a specific servlet based on the requesting clients host name and address. I'm aware of the RemoteHostValve, but as I understand the specification it can only be used by editing the server.xml file, and I would prefer to have a method to control it in the web.xml file. 

Basically, what I'd need is a RemoteHostFilter, but i find no reference to a such a creature. Of course I could write one myself, but I cannot imagine that no one have had this problem before me. 

So, what is a good approach on this? 

regards,
