<filter-mapping>

Synopsis

A filter is mapped to either a URI pattern or a servlet using the <filter-mapping> element. The <filter-name> subelement identifies the filter using a name defined by a <filter> element. A <url-pattern> or a <servlet-name> defines when the filter shall be invoked. If a URL mapping is used, the same values as for a <servlet-mapping> element can be used. More than one filter may match a specific request. If so, the container chains them in the order the matching <filter-mapping> elements appear in the deployment descriptor:

<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>accessControl</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/protected</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
