Ah so! I have the PDF file and have read most of it, but had not
paid much attention to the filters section. Thanks for the
reference and the snippet. I am still dubious as to your claim
that filter-JSP architecture is superior to MVC, but I have an
open mind about it and will do some homework. I believe,
especially on an interest list such as this, in the old saying,
"Give a man a fish and he will not be hungry for a day; teach him
to fish and he'll not go hungry for life." Again, thanks for the
pointer (ooh...a C reference? :-) ) to the reference
documentation!
Cheers!
