I have a single filter that calls getFilterContext().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/templates/form.html").forward(request, response) in the absence of a particular session variable on the request.
This filter is mapped to /* and I have a single servlet mapped to /Display
Pointing my browser at /<webapp>/Display : things work as expected.
Pointing my browser at /<webapp>/ : things work as expected
Pointing my browser at /<webapp>/staticfile.html : problem.
View Source in my browser shows this:
-----------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="j_security_check" method="POST">
<p>U
----------------------
That is the beginning of the html file I am trying to forward() to.
It seems like my HttpServletResponse's OutputStream is getting closed prematurely in the exact same place in my forwarded file.
So what could it be?!

In Servlet 2.3 (i.e. Tomcat 4.x), filters are *not* invoked on request dispatcher calls -- only on the original request. In Servlet 2.4 (i.e. Tomcat 5.x) you can optionally configure which filters should be used on forwards, includes, or both, with suitable settings in web.xml.Craig
