I also see that JSecurity web support relies on a return to
application-level security based on a filter, rather than rely on container

reliance on a filter is probably because JSecurity is not (yet?) integrated
with the Java standards in the security space.
I've been watching this proposal because I'm very interested in JSecurity as a whole, but I think Noel raises an interesting point here. At least in Websphere, you can have container-managed security on the method-level for EJBs, which doesn't have to be called form a webapp, so a filter-based approach couldn't provide this. I'd LOVE to be able to get rid of IBM's security subsystem and replace it with JSecurity, but if it can't allow the same sort of thing then I can't do that.

Is that capability, or lack thereof, a limitation inherent in the approach JSecurity has taken, or is it just a case of a feature that is planned for down the road?

Thanks,
Frank
