You might want to look into Tomcat-specific Valve's. Valve's are essentially filters, but act at the level of Tomcat instead of at the level of each webapp and can be more powerful than filters. The Tomcat docs describe existing valves. I'd just take a look at one of those valves to get an idea of how to write your own...

I have configured a filter to do some preService processing (i,e, before the request is passed onto the webapp).
I, initially, configured it for a single webapp (modified the relevant web.xml) and it worked fine.
Now, I want to configure it such that ALL webapps use this filter. I tried to declare the filter in %tomcat_home%\conf\web.xml, but this doesn't seem to work.
Pls help me. How do I go about setting this filter so that all webapps use it. (without modifying the web.xml for each and every webapp).
Tahnk you very much.
