How I've tackled it is by setting a request scope attribute in the filter.
Before the filter is applied, a check is performed to see if this attribute
has been set or not.. if it has then the request is an internal request.
In doFilter()....
// Check if filter has been marked as applied
if ( request.getAttribute( "filterapplied" ) != null ) {
// Been done already - jump to next filter
getFilterConfig().getNext().doFilter( request, response );
}
else {
// Hasn't been applied yet, mark it as applied and do
request.setAttribute( "filterapplied", Boolean.TRUE );
// .... do filter stuff
}
