problem in Filters

[Niranjan Deshpande]

hi all

refer the SHARPEN YOUR PENCIL on hfsj page 680
as per me, the sequence of filter executon for 2nd and 3rd entries is

1,2,5 and 1,4,5 respectively

on page 695,hfsj says it is 1,5,2 and 1,5,4 . Can anybody convince me how is this true ?

As per me -

1. first the container locates all fileter ( of those declared in the
D.D ) that have common url-patterns
2. it then executes them in the order in the order in hwich they are
executed.

as per the above 2 rules, my answers seem to be valid.

please help out.

Hi
Filter 2 and 4 contain <servlet-name> instead of <url-pattern>
And it is mentioned in HFSJ P-678 that first all the matching <url-pattern> will run. Only after that there will be the turn for matching <servlet-name>
to run.

Thati s why answer in HFSJ is correct.
