Synopsis

The <filter> element registers a filter component, described in Chapter 19. Nested <icon>, <display-name>, and <description> elements can optionally define icons and descriptions that can be used by a tool. The nested <filter-name> element defines a unique logical name for the filter, and the <filter-class> element the class name. A set of initialization parameters can optionally be defined by <init-param> elements:

<filter>
  <filter-name>accessControl</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.mycomp.AccessControlFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>loginPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/login.jsp</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>
