I thought that's what the filter gave you... the ability to filter any
URL to the /solr webapp, and Ryan was doing a lookup on the next
element for a request handler.
yes, this is the beauty of a Filter. It *can* process the request
and/or it can pass it along. There is no problem at all with mapping
a filter to all requests and a servlet to some paths. The filter will
only handle paths declared in solrconfig.xml everything else will be
handled however it is defined in web.xml
(As a sidenote, wicket 2.0 replaces their dispatch servlet with a
filter - it makes it MUCH easier to have their app co-exist with other
things in a shared URL structure.)
