Depends on what you need to do... If all you need to do is create instances
of objects for your web app, that's the way to go... If you're building a
web app to control your servlet-container, DOH! you need to build around its
APIs :)

A wise approach when designing a web application is examine your
requirements and see, wether it's worth to tie your app down to a container,
or abstract above it... Every problem is different...

Dunno much about interceptors and TC3x...
