I'm about to use securityfilter for a project in which I must have access to the request during authentication - I won't bore people with the details, but I don't believe it's bad design just a consequence of the type of webapp.

FlexibleRealmInterface will allow me to do this, but it's not in the 2.0 release (although it was committed 2 years ago).  I'll go ahead and use the latest CVS code, but it will be a pity if this project has ceased as it solves an annoying problem - the need for custom realms on each container or a completely hand rolled authentication solution.

Thanks for writing this filter and I hope there is another release in it yet!
