filter-mapping,process /* except /x?
Is there a way to have a filter not run on a specific mapping? For example, if you have a filter-mapping of /* this will be invoked for every single resource in the container. How can you prevent the filter from running against one particular servlet (besides doing skip logic in the filter code)? BTW, what I am trying to do is to implement security using a filter. However, I want the login page to be displayed (not run through the filter).

RE: filter-mapping,process /* except /x?
there is no way. you will have to do that in your filter. you could apply your filter to subdirectories individually instead of /* and leave your login page in the root or in an unmapped directory.

Is there a way to have a filter not run on a specific mapping? For example, if you have a filter-mapping of /* this will be invoked for every single resource in the container. The legal syntax for a filter URL pattern is the same as for a servlet mapping: * Exact match (/foo). * Path match (/foo/*). * Extension match (*.foo). * Default servlet (/). How can you prevent the filter from running against one particular servlet (besides doing skip logic in the filter code)? Skip logic is it. BTW, what I am trying to do is to implement security using a filter. However, I want the login page to be displayed (not run through the filter). Tomcat has a similar problem with the form login page when you have a security constraint mapped to /*. The solution was the same as what you need to do -- specific logic to exempt your login page from the restrictions that your filter imposes. Thanks!
