Sounds great. > I see examples for interceptors, but not filters... which seems odd.

The project grew out of OpenEJB, so the examples initially were heavy on EJB and JPA, with some JAX-WS. When CDI was added to Java EE, the integration with EJB was the tightest of any specification, so lots of integration work was done and CDI and a few JAX-RS examples were added. When TomEE itself was announced and certified in 2011, our user list traffic went up 3x, but our contributions did not. Fast forward through several challenges that include losing access to the Java EE TCK, launching off efforts like MicroProfile and bringing Java EE to open source as Jakarta EE and now here we are. More or less picking where we left off, but now better. A healthy new community, an open source Jakarta EE TCK and a lot of fun work to do. :) I think something about having been an EJB project for so long during the very unpopular years of EJB made us incredibly stubborn :) We just don't quit here. So go ahead with those Filter examples and do so with the pride knowing it would have been so easy for anyone else to do it, and it would have helped us, but they did not, you did. Welcome again. Grow, learn and have fun :) -David
