Hi!
As far as I know JWS does not support servlet chaining at the moment. (Ref:
JAVA Servlets by KARL MOSS)

Subject: servlet chaining not working
>Hi all, Q relating to servlets under JWS1.1.3 on NT4SP3:
>
>I have an applet which requests, via the URL class, a data file
>"fred.foo" from my JWS server. This is an applet specific data
>file, not HTML. The applet looks thus
>
>URL dataURL = new URL( "http://server/datadir/fred.foo" );
>
>Then I read the data from a stream connected to the URL
>
>InputStream is = dataUrl.openStream();
>data = is.readCommands();
>
>This has always worked fine without servlets in the equation.
>
>Now I'm trying to install a servlet filter to intercept the request,
>read a cookie which the applet will have sent (I hope cookie sending
>works from applets and not just browsers??), process that cookie, and
>send it back along with the data file.
>
>I have set up the servlet chain

>*.foo file,Filter

>but non of this works. The applet now reads EOF from the
>InputStream. This is leading me to believe that
>
>a) servlet chains are suited to processing HTML text only
>b) applet requests are not the same as browser requests
>
>My servlet doesn't actaully affect the data file supplied by the
>'file' servlet at all. Is this a problem?
>
>Any help gratefully appreciated. I'm very confused.
