Hi, I was looking at Bug 47330 (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47330) which is a filter / valve implementation of a Httpd's mod_remoteip module. What concerned me is a comment by the submitter at the very bottom of the report:
"... As Tomcat valves are currently being converted into Servlet Filter (1), here is a Servlet Filter implementation... " Is this true? Is Tomcat moving away from valves and towards filters in the next version(s)? Is there a specific reason for this? Although I love filters, I find that valves have a very specific need within the container as well; it allows you to configure the container independently of the application. If everything is moving to filters, that would require me to modify the app everytime I want the container to behave slightly differently. Am I misunderstanding the comment, or is the submitter mis-informed?
