http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28323 HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() returns null in context of a Filter class Summary: HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() returns null in context of a Filter class Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.27 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the first lines of code in doFilter in my filter class, I have the following: if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) { log("The URI is: " + ((HttpServletRequest)request).getRequestURI()); log("The PathInfo is: " + ((HttpServletRequest)request).getPathInfo()); .... This filter is mapped to /*, when hit with a request to /path1/path2/file.ext comes in, the following output is produced: 2004-04-09 21:57:23 The URI is: /path1/path2/file.ext 2004-04-09 21:57:23 The PathInfo is: null I couldn't find anything that would lead me to belive that this is expected. Oracle's website has examples where getPathInfo is used in filter classes so I would think I am not alone. I realize this version of tomcat is a few rev's old -- I checked the bug database before submitting and found nothing. I am guessing that the path info stuff is filled in after the filter chain is done.
