I'm not sure I undertand the question (and your interface seems to be called SecurityService, actually). I would think you can do it in a valve (it gets invoked before and after the servlet pipeline). > 2. How can I get references to OpenEJB deployed beans into the namespace of > Servlets.

Yes, it would be appropriate to use an object factory (the EjbFactory is just a proxy factory to make things easier to use). If you write an OpenEjbFactory which could resolve the EJB references, it should be easy to make it work (you also need the valve mentioned above, of course). I was considering doing it, but it was a bit too complex (I would have had to spend a bit too much time learning OpenEJB). If you can isolate all your code in valves, listeners and JNDI object factories, that would make it easy to add EJB support to a standard Tomcat distribution.
