tomcat filters

Hi

I am in the process developing a web application firewall(WAF) for
tomcat similar to what mod security does, and am planning to use the
filter API already present in tomcat to intercept requests and do the
filtering. Are there any existing efforts at doing this for tomcat?

Thanks,
Varrun

Forgive my ignorance, for I've never used Spring [anything]... does
ACEGI/SpringSecurity provide features like mod_security, or is it a
replacement for container-managed J2EE security (or both)?

Quite a few yes.  Acegi Security (now called Spring Security) for example.
