IASR2 BI Report Server's Servlet Version?

Question

Hi,
We are planning to implement Filters in Report Server (to filter rwservlet) which is available from version 2.3.
What is the Servlet Specification version in the BI Report Server? Is it same as of AppServer?
Is there any other alternative to filter (secure) the access to rwservlet? What is RWSecurity class?
thanks
VB

Hi Vijay,
What is the Servlet Specification version in the BI Report Server?9iAS Rel 2 uses Servlet 2.3
Is there any other alternative to filter (secure) the access to rwservlet?You can use the default security implementation shipped with Oracle9iAS. Use Portal to define the users and their authentication information (username/passwd). Register your reports in Portal, and allow access to only authorized users. All users will be asked their username/passwd, and only the authorized users will be granted access - whether they try to access the report published on a portal page, or directly using an rwservlet URL.
Find more information in "Publishing reports" Ch 5 - Controlling User Access:
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/reports.html
Also the Reports:Portal intgration viewlets:

What is RWSecurity class?This is the class that implements the above logic (default security mechanism using Portal and SSO).
