Hi,
I'm trying to integrate a 3rd party filter into a Shiro filter chain.
I'm surprised by two things and I hope I'm just missing something.
1) The init() method of a filter configured in a chain never seems to be
called.
2) If the init() method was called it seems like you can't set filter
init-params via the typical JEE filter mechanism.
For the example below the init method of TestFilter is never called and
even if it were I'm not sure the filter could use
filterConfig.getInitParameter( "testParam" )
to retrieve the test-value.
[main]
test-filter = test.TestFilter
test-file.testParam = test-value
[urls]
/** = test-filter
Is this a bug, feature or user error?
I do understand that the pseudo-DI in Shiro in most cases is probably
nicer but:
A) If the javax.servlet.Filter is being used the contract associated
with that interface should be honored.
B) Not support init() or init-params really limits the ability to use
"off the shelf" filters.
Hoping I'm wrong...
Kevin.
