Actually, I am working on re-architecting securityfilter a bit so that
it can be used outside of it's current filter-only implementation. The
goal is to make it possible to write it as a Tomcat Valve, and then
possibly have Tomcat use securityfilter as its authentication and
authorization mechanism.

Since the last release, the servlet spec has changed somewhat (last
release mostly covered 2.3 spec), so I'm also working on making it as
spec-compliant as possible.

Thanks,
