How do I know what the response is before I even authenticate or create a session? 2. Which comes first, I assume session then authentication. 3. These need to come _before_ any of my other resources get the request. It seems that the dispatch mechansim might need a way to "register" that a filter should be applied at the end of processing; so that once the Response is generated, it can be wrapped on the way out. | We are trying to find a new way to do things without boundaries to old APIs | and such :). So many changes have to be made that discussing with backwards | compatibility in mind is just a waste of time IMHO. It is good if we could | just brainstorm some stuff and bash each other. :) Web2 is already substantially different from Web: don't stop now! Clark
