So is there still going to be an API to plug into the tomcat internals and do things that the servlet API does not support?

Hello Henri, I was referring to public information such as : - Google Summer Of Code 2009, project "Convert current Tomcat valves to Servlet Filters" : http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/SummerOfCode2009 and the various associated emails on Tomcat dev mailing list. - Mark Thomas post on Tomcat users mailing list : "...47330 is on the todo list but my current plan is to implement it as a Filter rather than a valve. " (1) However, my understanding is not that pluggable 'interceptors' will be removed from the container, just that the Valve API will be replaced with a Filter API. I feel interfaces (HttpServletRequest & HttpServletResponse) will be much more easy to manipulate than the current implementations (Request, Response).
