This section provides an overview of the following topics:
Figure 5-1 shows, on the left, a scenario in which no filters are configured for the servlet being requested. On the right, several filters (1, 2, ..., N) have been configured.
Each filter implements
the javax.servlet.Filter interface, which includes
a doFilter() method that takes as input a request and
response pair along with a filter chain, which is an instance of a class
(provided by the servlet container) that implements
the javax.servlet.FilterChain interface. The filter chain
reflects the order of the filters. The servlet container, based on the
configuration order in the web.xml file, constructs the
chain of filters for any servlet or other resource that has filters mapped to
it. For each filter in the chain, the filter chain object passed to it
represents the remaining filters to be called, in order, followed by the target
servlet.
The FilterChain interface also specifies
a doFilter() method, which takes a request and response
pair as input and is used by each filter to invoke the next entity in the
chain.
Also see "Standard Filter Interfaces".
If there are two filters, for example, the key steps of this mechanism would be as follows:
The target servlet is requested. The container detects that there are two filters and creates the filter chain.
The first filter in the chain is invoked by
its doFilter() method.
The first filter completes any preprocessing, then calls
the doFilter() method of the filter chain. This results
in the second filter being invoked by
its doFilter() method.
The second filter completes any preprocessing, then calls
the doFilter() method of the filter chain. This results
in the target servlet being invoked by
its service() method.
When the target servlet is finished, the
chain doFilter() call in the second filter returns, and
the second filter can do any postprocessing.
When the second filter is finished, the
chain doFilter() call in the first filter returns, and
the first filter can do any postprocessing.
When the first filter is finished, execution is complete.
None of the filters are aware of their order. Ordering is handled entirely
through the filter chain, according to the order in which filters are configured
in web.xml.
The following are among the possible actions of
the doFilter() method of a filter:
Create a wrapper for the request object to allow input filtering. Process the content or headers of the request wrapper as desired.
Create a wrapper for the response object to allow output filtering. Process the content or headers of the response wrapper as desired.
Pass the request and response pair (or wrappers) to the next entity in the
chain, using the chain doFilter() method.
Alternatively, to block request processing, do not call the
chain doFilter() method.
Any processing you want to occur before the target resource is invoked must
be prior to the chain doFilter() call. Any processing you
want to occur after the completion of the target resource must be after the
chain doFilter() call. This can include directly setting
headers on the response.
Note that if you want to preprocess the request object or postprocess the
response object, you cannot directly manipulate the original request or response
object. You must use wrappers. When postprocessing a response, for example, the
target servlet has already completed and the response could already be committed
by the time a filter would have a chance to do anything with the response. You
must pass a response wrapper instead of the original response in the
chain doFilter() call. See "Using
a Filter to Wrap and Alter the Request or Response".
A servlet filter implements
the javax.servlet.Filter interface. The main method of
this interface, doFilter(), takes
a javax.servlet.FilterChain instance, created by the
servlet container to represent the entire chain of filters, as input. The
initialization method of
the Filter interface, init(), takes a
filter configuration object, which is an instance
of javax.servlet.FilterConfig, as input. This section briefly
describes the methods specified in these interfaces.
For additional information about the interfaces and methods discussed here,
refer to the Sun Microsystems Javadoc for
the javax.servlet package, at:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/index.html
The Filter interface specifies the following methods
to implement in your filters:
void init(FilterConfig filterConfig)
The servlet container calls init() as a filter is
first instantiated and placed into service. This method takes
a javax.servlet.FilterConfig instance as input, which
the servlet container uses to pass information to the filter during the
initialization. Include any special initialization requirements in your
implementation. Also see "Methods
of the FilterConfig Interface".
void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain)
This is where your filter processing occurs. Each time a target resource
(such as a servlet or JSP page) is requested, where the target resource is
mapped to a chain of one or more filters, the servlet container calls
the doFilter() method of each filter in the chain, in
order according to web.xml filter configurations.
(See "Construction
of the Filter Chain".) Within
the doFilter() processing of a filter, invoke
the doFilter() method on the filter chain object that
is passed in to the doFilter() method of the filter.
(An exception to this is if you want to block request processing.) This is
what leads to invocation of the next entity in the chain (either the next
filter, or the target servlet if this is the last filter in the chain) after a
filter has completed.
destroy(): The servlet container
calls destroy() after all execution of the filter has
completed (all threads of the doFilter() method have
completed, or a timeout has occurred) and the filter is being taken out of
service. Include any special cleanup requirements in your implementation.
This section lists the steps in configuring a servlet filter. Do the
following in web.xml for each filter:
Declare the filter through a <filter> element
and its subelements, which maps the filter class (including package) to a
filter name. For example:
<filter>
<filter-name>timer</filter-name>
<filter-class>filter.TimerFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
You can optionally specify initialization parameters here, similarly to how you would for a servlet:
<filter>
<filter-name>timer</filter-name>
<filter-class>filter.TimerFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>name</param-name>
<param-value>value</param-value>
<init-param>
</filter>
Using a <filter-mapping> element and its
subelements, map the filter name to a servlet name or URL pattern to associate
the filter with the corresponding resource (such as a servlet or JSP page) or
resources. For example, to have the filter invoked whenever the servlet of
name myservlet is invoked:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>timer</filter-name>
<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
Or, to have the filter invoked
whenever sleepy.jsp is requested, according to URL
pattern:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>timer</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/sleepy.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Note that instead of specifying a particular resource in
the <url-pattern> element, you can use wild card
characters to match multiple resources, such as in the following example:
<url-pattern>/mypath/*</url-pattern>
The filter name can be arbitrary, but preferably is meaningful. It is simply used as the linkage in mapping a filter class to a servlet name or URL pattern.
If you configure multiple filters that apply to a resource, they will be
entered in the servlet chain according to their declaration order
in web.xml, and they will be invoked in that order when the
target servlet is requested. See the next section, "Construction
of the Filter Chain".

Note: There are additional steps to configure a filter for a forward or include target. See "Filtering Forward or Include Targets". |
When you declare and map filters in web.xml, the servlet
container determines which filters apply to each servlet or other resource (such
as a JSP page or static page) in the Web application. Then, for each servlet or
resource, the servlet container builds a chain of applicable filters, according
to your web.xmlconfiguration order, as follows:
First, any filters that match a servlet or resource according to
a <url-pattern> element are placed in the
chain, in the order in which the filters are declared
in web.xml.
Next, any filters that match a servlet or resource according to
a <servlet-name> element are placed in the
chain, with the first <servlet-name> match
following the
last <url-pattern> match.
Finally, the target servlet or other resource is placed at the end of the
chain, following the last filter with
a <servlet-name> match.
The servlet API allows servlet filters to be inserted into the
processing cycle to form a Filter Chain. How is a chain defined, and what is the
ordering of filters in the chain?
The servlet filter
chain is formed by defining multiple filters for the same servlet or URL pattern
in web.xml. The order in which the filters are
invoked is the same order
as <filter-mapping>s appear in
the web.xml file.
For
example, if this is defined
in web.xml:
<!-- Filter mapping --> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>servletFilter2</filter-name> <servlet-name>filterdemo</servlet-name> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>servletFilter</filter-name> <servlet-name>filterdemo</servlet-name> </filter-mapping>
then servletFilter2 will be
applied
before servletFilter.
Actually,
it‘s more accurate to imagine these filters as layers or wraps instead of
chains. In the above
example, servletFilter2 wraps servletFilter.
Particularly useful functions for a filter are to manipulate a request, or manipulate the response to a request. To manipulate a request or response, you must create a wrapper. You can use the following general steps:
To manipulate requests, create a class that extends the
standard javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper class.
This class will be your request wrapper, allowing you to modify a request as
desired.
To manipulate responses, create a class that extends the
standard javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper class.
This class will be your response wrapper, allowing you to modify a response
after the target servlet or other resource has delivered and possibly
committed it.
Optionally create a class that extends the
standard javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream class, if
you want to add custom functionality to an output stream for the response.
Create a filter that uses instances of your custom classes to alter the request or response as desired.
The next section, "Response Filter Example", provides an example of a filter that alters the response.
This example employs an HTTP servlet response wrapper that uses a custom
servlet output stream. This functionality allows the wrapper to manipulate the
response data after the target HTML page is finished writing it out. Without
using a wrapper, you cannot change the response data after the servlet output
stream has been closed (essentially, after the servlet has committed the
response). That is the reason for implementing a filter-specific extension to
the ServletOutputStream class in this example.
This example uses the following custom classes:
GenericResponseWrapper:
Extends HttpServletResponseWrapper for custom
functionality in manipulating an HTTP response.
FilterServletOutputStream:
Extends ServletOutputStream to provide custom
functionality for use in the response wrapper.
MyGenericFilter: This class is for a generic, empty
("pass-through") filter that is used as a base class.
PrePostFilter:
Extends MyGenericFilter and
implements doFilter() code to alter the HTTP response,
inserting a line before the HTML page output and a line after the HTML page
output.
