Hi all,

I wanted to bring a topic up for some discussion. Currently i am working on
the monitoring community module that uses a top level servlet filter to
control the monitoring process. Historically servlet filters have only been
made active by modifying web.xml of the geoserver instance being deployed.
Unfortunately in this case that does not really work since the monitoring
module is an unstable community module. And even when it becomes an
extension making the user manually edit the web.xml to enable it does not
seem very nice.

So to remedy this I came up with servlet filter implementation that looks up
other servlet filters in a spring context and delegates to them accordingly.
With this it is possible to plug in servlet filters via the spring context.
For those interested I have attached the class to this jira:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4114

So the question is a) is this a good idea? and b) if so should this be
constrained to trunk only?

Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

-Justin
