The idea of a GEOXAML driven security subsystem is certainly a very good one, I would be interested in mentoring you in this one. However, I would rather suggest not to implement it as a servlet filter. There are quite some good reasons to avoid it: - it has to replicate part of the work GeoServer is already doing (the request parsing) - it is limited to the kind of request it can parse (say tomorrow we add WPS, or a restful WFS, or just SOAP request types for the existing services) You have two lower level options at your disposal: - a dispatcher plugin, that receives the requests in a parsed form already. Yet, that still requires you to know all the possible kinds of requests (just skips the parsing machinery) - a geoserver security subsystem plugin, replacing the current DataAccessManager implementation with a custom one that is driven by GEOXAML directives I cannot find much information about GEOXAML, and XAML itself it huge, so it's likely that you'll find some limitations in the current security subsystem extension points, but I can work along with you and make the necessary changes to allow a GEOXAML driven plugin to work at its full potential.
