If apache serves the static resources you can't protect them by a Filter-Servlet. The requests never reach your servlet.
AFAIK in a future version of mod_webapp it will be possible to define security contraints on the tomcat side which will be honored by the connector. (Currently it's not clear to me if the connector will directly honor this restrictions or if it will just let tomcat handle the request. In the later case there would be a performance penalty to use this feature) > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Günter Kukies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Freitag, 21.
