Aren't those new keywords in the 2.4 servlet spec? They don't do any good for anyone who uses Tomcat 4.1.24 or earlier. Right?
Yes, that's correct. Yoav's point was that if you go with Filters in Tomcat 4.x (Servlet 2.3), you may have to change your configurations when you eventually upgrade to Tomcat 5.x (Servlet 2.4).
To be clear:
For Tomcat 4.x, Filters are only run when a request comes to the container. For Tomcat 5.x, Filters are configurable to run at any or all of request-time, forward-time, and include-time -- depending on the Servlet2.4 <dispatcher> element.
