Hi Tim
Yes, as I described in one of my letters, I have used the
getRequestDispatcher, but when I do, images don't cache

include'ing to, whether it is in my web app context
or outside of it. I have a META-INF/context.xml with

Filters are only run on the incoming request. They can run on include() and
forward() to but you need to see configure that in web.xml.
If you are renaming the servlet path - you can't call chain.doFilter() and
get the results you expect. YOu need to get a new RequestDistpatcher for the

But, actually, I have a question.

untouched. Then you get easily maintainable code and its not tomcat specific.
For example:
doFilter(request, response, filterChain) {
if (magicalCanRewrite(request)) {
String newPath = magicMethodTOGetNewPathFromS
