What is your current understanding of the order of execution of filters?

Hi,
I tried to solve the excercise on HFSJ page No.680.I could recognize which filters will execute but but I failed to answer their order.e.g.In one example,I answered 1,2,5 but the order is 1,5,2.Why is it so?

Hi,
If you see in the <filter - mapping> tag two elements we can give one is <servlet-name> and <url-pattern>.First it will goes in the order of <url-pattern> tag at the end of <url-pattern> order it will add the <servlet-name> resouce.thats why order is like that.
I think it is helpful for you
If you can't understand please let me know.

Thanks,
Jayaram
