A filter can be used to both pre-process a request and post-process it, so it *could* do what your after.
But, I would start by questioning whether what your trying to do is really required... keep in mind that writing to the file system from a J2EE app is forbidden (not that it stops anyone from doing it!)... more importantly though, if you ever need to move the app to an environment where you are deploying as an EAR, you'll find that writing to the file system is *much* harder, and what you do know almost certainly won't work. What are you really trying to accomplish here? What's the underlying goal? Maybe we can offer some alternate suggestions... -- Frank W.
