Hi Vijay, I'm no guru, yet can give you my personal opinion on this matter:
Yes, they have an impact. The heavier (execution time, resources consumption, etc...) the filter is, the greater the impact (and so the opposite :) ). I suppose that there is also a small overhead associated to the forwarding mechanism itself, but I haven't actually tested this. Depending on how time / resource - critical is your web app, this can become an issue or not. Yes, I believe they are of great use for certain things (mostly, global validations and general operations affecting the general behaviour of your web app) such as, for example, access control. Yet, as with any other technology, I wouldn't do a blindfold recommendation for it. I don't believe there is such thing as "IT-panacea". Again, that is my humble opinion. HTH, Freddy. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: martes, 06 de abril de 2004 16:40 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: RE: Filters.. Apologies...for the generality of the question.... Our Web Application primarily consists of satellite applications interfacing with a core system....I primarily want to implement them for access checks as well as a Session Manager for each request of the application... Is there any overhead in this coz I just got an opinion that it does...how was not explained :) which led me thinking whether it really does lead to an overhead?? Next time I shall be more specific about my queries :) -----Original Message----- From: Freddy Villalba Arias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 7:53 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Filters.. Whoa, talk about general questions!!! :) I suppose it depends on what you want them for and the overall context... Could you be more specific?
