Description

This issue raises from a conversation in the CXF users mailing list. Please, find first mail in the thread here:

As stated there, although there is currently a way to execute a filter before normal CXF processing takes place, I've been unable to find a way to invoke the normal processing within the filter, as part of the filter chain.

Some frameworks (i.e. Spring Security) expect service invocation to happen within the filter chain. And things do not work as expected when that's not the case. (I can not say whether this is a common behaviour or not, as I'm not very familiar with servlet containers internals).

I think having a way for that to happen is a desirable feature.
It would also solve issue DOSGI-182.
