Scanned the newsgroup and the bugzilla stuff and the latest I see on
ServletFilter support in equinox is the concept of using the
FilterServletAdaptor. Still trying to understand exactly how this is
supposed to work, but so far it looks like this isn't going to do what I
need (tho I'm more than willing to be convinced otherwise!).
Basically I'm looking at a rather large, complex web application with
several chained filters, some of which are spring classes like ACEGI, and
we're doing this without embedding jetty/tomcat so that we can deploy
nicely to jboss, weblogic, etc.
I supposed the question here is this: are there any workable solutions
(examples would be great) of supporting a chained set of filters in this
architecture? If not, would the right direction be to look at having a
kind of ServletBridge concept except that I would code up my own
FilterBridge and a filter service inside the osgi platform? I'm a bit
leery of this, thinking that if this is indeed that "simple" it might have
been done already...?
