No, I haven't. Although that doesn't feel like the right approach, I want the code to run as the current user. For info my filter is installed as the final filter in the chain. Here's a cut down snippet of the code -


    public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, final FilterChain filterChain)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
    
    filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
    
    NodeRef ref = // parse the noderef from the request object.
    // spring bean injected field using 'NodeService' from public-services-context.xml
    if (nodeService.exists(ref)) {
        // do something
    } else {
        // do something else
    }
}
