[Socket-developers] (no subject)

[<bri...@bt...>]

Secateurs,
 
It appears that servlet 2.4 can actually map a filter on to a dispatch
(I had it in my mind that this was 2.5):
 
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Logging Filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/products/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
would result in the Logging Filter being invoked by client requests
starting /
products/... and underneath a request dispatcher forward() call where
the
request dispatcher has path commencing /products/....
 
With socket, by omitting the <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>, this
would eliminate the filter being invoked 'on the way in' which we don't
really need.
 
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
 
 
Regards,
 
Brian
