It's not clear to me if the valves-to-filters project completed (I
haven't been following the tomcat list closely), but I don't
anticipate that it would cause any problems -- maybe a day of work. I
suspect we can simplify our integration since filters have lifecycle
methods, we won't need to work around their lack in valves like we do
now.

I stumbled across the following presentation about Tomcat 7
yesterday, and I was wondering how much of an impact this will be
for Geronimo.
http://people.apache.org/~markt/presentations/2009-04-01-Tomcat7Servlet3.pdf
Here's the list of new items planned for the release.
New for Tomcat 7
•Servlet 3.0 support
•Cluster communication via UDP
•Significantly improved JMX support - GSOC
•Replace Valves with Filters - GSOC
•Bayeux
•Numerous smaller improvements
•Code clean up
–Remove unused stuff
–Resolve inconsistencies
Since Servlet 3.0 is going to be needed for JEE6 support, I'm
wondering how much effort is going to be required to fit this in.
The "Replace Valves with Filters" item might be a particular
problem, since I know there was a bit of Valves work that has gone
into past releases.
