If the question finally is "..without using *container-based* 
authentication/authorisation", then have a look at

http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/

There is good explanation of the difference between the "container-based" and 
"filter-based" approach to AAA, and maybe it already offers what you want.

Another good place to look would be

http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

which is not properly-speaking an authentication filter, but which may help in 
your purpose.

Both of these are open-source, so it should not be very hard to add the 
functionality you 
want, if it is not there already.
