Joe, Are you sure your filter is doing the right thing?
Sounds like it may be forwarding to a "bad" URL or something. If it works without the web.xml then I assume you've set up your <context> for the /cms application. Maybe try a System.err.println( myDestURL ) in the filter and then copy/paste that output into your browser to see it exists. Hope this helps.
