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...

Regards,
Sergey
