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.
