Howdy, >code in the servlet. However, "Core Servlets" does not describe how to use >filters (that I know of). Is there a reference for this technique
This article provides a good overview with some examples: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-06-2001/jw-0622-filters.html >out from using getDispatcher().forward() etc but if it is a specific >technique then where can I learn more? The key concept when filtering is the chain. Your filter is part of the chain, and gets called twice for each request (if the request URL pattern matches the URL pattern for your filter as defined in web.xml): once before the requested resource (servlet or JSP for example) and once after. The full details are in the servlet spec, SRV 6. Start playing, and post some specific questions and code when you have them ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
