How to intercept and validate HTTP requests in a Java EE environment

I'm doing a project and the main concept is to develop an engine for Java EE that validates HTTP requests from the client.

I have looked at one engine related to this and it's the OWASP PROJECT STINGER. My own understanding of this engine is that a developer that uses the STINGER engine sets all the rules or configures everything, like setting regular expressions that are allowed and cookie rule sets by filling out an XML file (which they call an SVDL file).

Now my main question is how will I develop an engine for Java EE? Where will I start?

Well, it is not called J2EE anymore. There has been several years since it was changed to Java EE. Now, Java EE is a compendium of technologies (i.e. JAXB, RPC, EJBs, JSP, JTA, etc., etc., etc.). Implementing a full container is a major task and I doubt this is what you intend. You appear to be talking about implementing an HTTP server, which is probably a small part of what Java EE does.

Now, if you insist in implementing them, the starting point is always reading the Java Specifications for the particular technology you intend to implement. Download the JSRs from the Java Community Process and desing your implementation according to its requirements.

For instance this is the Specification for Servlets
