Argh !! Yes, you are right: I was too much rdbms centric, sorry ;^) At this point - but I don't like to make sentences without write code 8^( - it could be interesting in a near future to write specialized filters: a general one (the "cumulation of rules"); or a SQL filter for rdbms data sources and so on (XPath for xml data ??). But it should be a plugin-system... like events and connectionProviders. JSP dbform tag could have a "filterType" attribute... etc etc.
