I need help on filters in WebSphere Portal 5.1.x environment. I�ve tried to implement both
Servlet Filter and Portlet Filter, but none of them work as expected. Here is the layout of my application specified in DD:
<web-app id='SomeID'>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
SimpleServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class></servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet id='SomeServletID'>
<servlet-name>
NotSimpleServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.ibm.wps.pb.wrapper.PortletWrapper</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>c2a-application-portlet-class</param-name>
<param-value>
com.abnamro.oce.presentation.common.portlets.WpsStrutsPortlet
</param-value>
</servlet>
</web-app>
In other words I have normal servlet
SimpleServlet and portlet
NotSimpleServlet. Note, I use
Struts 1.<something> that�s why there is WpsStrutsPortlet included in NotSimpleServlet description.
I will not touch the Portlet Filter, otherwise the post will be too big. Here is my Servlet definition:
...
<filter>
<filter-name>MyServletFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>foo.my.MyServletFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyServletFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>SimpleServlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyServletFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>NotSimpleServlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
...
The problem is that the Servlet Filter works only for the
SimpleServlet, but not
NotSimpleServlet. In other words when I trigger SimpleServlet the filter is invoked, while triggering of NotSimpleServlet does not invoke the filter.
Does any one have any clue why this does not work?
Thanks in advance,
Uzjd
