Well, I changed my pattern to /* and something strange happens in the doFilter method...
I am coming from /login.jsp and the navigation rule looks like this..: <navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/login.jsp</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>success</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/protected/index.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule> And when the outcome is success from /login.jsp, the correct page is showing (/protected/index.jsp) but putting this call in the doFilter method: writeLog(((HttpServletRequest)request).getRequestURL()); gives me the url to the previous page, /logins.jsf.. Shouldn't this be /protected/index.jsf ?? But this explains why the patterng /protected/* didn't work, but why is this the request url in doFilter??
