--- Comment #7 from Sergey Ushakov <usha...@int.com.ru> 2011-07-05 20:54:22 UTC --- (In reply to comment #6) Well, there is nothing wrong about UrlRewriteFilter except it is a filter :) It looks perfect and mature, but it is good for webapp-level tasks rather than container-level tasks. A filter being a part of a webapp belongs to the responsibility of a developer, while there may be quite a variety of redirection tasks that belong to the administration domain. So one of the motivations for a valve is separation of responsibilities of a developer and an administrator. Another motivation is that there may be quite a lot of various redirection tasks common for different webapps at a server, which might be better taken care of in a centralized manner with a valve...
