You mean
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.filters=org.w3c.www.jigsaw.filters.CCPPFilter :)

In fact, you want to add a Client-Side filter, not a resource ServerSide
filter.
An exemple of Client-Side filter is org.w3c.www.protocol.http.DebugFilter
It extends PropRequestFilter and not ResourceFilter. As it is a
client-side filter and the client side may be reused to replace the HTTP
stack of any java based application.
Note that it has another filter method exceptionFilter, used in
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.proxy.ProxyDispatcher

But, if you want to add a filter on the server and not on the client part
of the proxy, you should add a server side filter to the root resource
(if you want it to affect the whole tree of resources).
See http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/Programmer/writing-filters.html
Installing the Filter
Or see the example of
http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/User/authentication.html
and http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/User/JigAdmin/edit.html
Depending on the admin GUI you are using.
Hope this helps,
