Hi Huibert,
I tried this, too, and communicated with the Clickstream example author,
Mike Cameron-Brookes. In fact, Huibert, I sent an email to you and Mike
directly, in which I responded to your email with Subject: Redirection.
Didn't you get that?
FilterChain.class is in the new Servlet API v2.3. The basic problem is
that FilterChain.class is only in orion.jar for Orion v1.4.4, and that is
only available via Orion's automatic update from the command line (i.e.,
you can't download v1.4.4 directly).
In my opinion Orion v1.4.4 is too unstable for practical use right now
(especially for any applications you have which have servlets/JSPs written
for the Servlet API v2.2 and earlier). I have submitted a bug report to
Bugzilla at www.orion.com (bug #236), where it appears that Orion replaces
the <listener>, <filter>, and <filter-mapping> elements in web.xml required
for the Clickstream example when the application is packaged as an EAR
(.ear file). These elements are not replaced in web.xml when the
application is identified in servlet.xml as a directory (versus a .ear).
(NOTE: THIS KIND OF BUG MAY BE A GENERAL BUG THAT HAS MESSED UP OTHER
APPLICATIONS AND IS HARD TO DETECT BECAUSE ORION WILL CHANGE FILES IN THE
EAR!).
Hope this helps -- can't wait for it to work right. Following this is some
of my conversation with Mike.

Mike,
Haven't tried it yet, but I did a "> java -jar autoupdate.jar" to get
v1.4.4, and the orion.jar now has FilterChain.class, while v1.4.0 does not.
When I get this all working, with your permission, I'd like to make note of
that to OrionSupport.
Thanks again,
Jay
