Again, this would be unportable to other containers... My reasoning is that
Erik needs some functionality for a web application that will allow his code
to be 100% portable on all possible servlet containers.

Using tomcat interceptors is exactly like using Weblogic's startup classes,
unportable. That's why I'm not a fan of interceptors (or valves in Tomcat
4.0), or ANY other unportable feature.
