I was able to solve some of the problems: I had some old stuff left in an apache config, it was hindering my filter to work. I had to add an tag in the host config to make it work - I also added a context, pointing out the exact WAR in the host config. I'm still not sure about the last thing - is there another way to do this - it seems cumbersome to have the same servlet paths both in Apache's virtual host config as well as in web.xml.
