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.
