That works for me too... I guess we could also just add the filter class to
the web-core module but leave it totally dormant and websphere users can
enable it in web.xml as they normally would a filter. We could still go one
step further and add the system property as well.
So cool, unless anyone objects i will go this route. Thanks Andrea!
