Hi Hassan
Yeah, I believe it was Tim Funk who had originally
recommended the same to me as you are doing. Maybe
it is the presence of the <url-pattern> that is causing
it to fail, though I doubt it. I guess I understood the
<url-pattern> to be the "filter responds to..." and the
<servlet-name> to be the "filter sends to..."
Anyhow, I should probably try this again, just to be sure.
(For your info: FedoraCore1/tomcat 5.0.28/j2sdk 1.4.2_05)
Thanks

I tried a <filter-mapping> to <servlet-name> of "default" and
also, as the below shows, to a <servlet-name> with the fully
qualified classname for the tomcat DefaultServlet.
Neither worked.
The configuration below works for me ( TC 5.5.9/JDK1.5.0 ), with
or without an additional <url-pattern> mapping. So "default" is a
valid <servlet-name>; not sure what else might cause your filter
to fail.
<filter> <!-- print "oink" to stdout :-) -->
<filter-name>squealFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>filters.SquealFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>squealFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
HTH!
