[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: Any Progress on ServletFilters Yet

["Simon Kaegi" <simon_kaegi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

there's no specific work on Servlet Filters planned for this release. With 
that said, I'd still take a look at the FilterServletAdaptor as it shouldn't 
be especially challenging to create your own variation that supports 
chaining as you want. For getting server-side help this newsgroup is pretty 
good if you give specific requirements... ask away.
