In a Servlet 2.3 environment (i.e. Tomcat 4.x), filters are only applied based
on the *original* request URI (the one that selects your Action), not on the
one use to forward to a JSP page. In a Servlet 2.4 environment (i.e. Tomcat
5.x), you can also ask for the filter to be applied on request dispatcher
calls, but you have to make this explicit:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>myjsppage.jsp</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
