Hello list,
I have written my first filter and think that I have it right, but when I
try to start Tomcat 5.5.9 after applying the necessary configuration changes
to web.xml, the Context that the Filter is in fails to start. Perhaps
someone can tell me what I may have done wrong.
<-- web.xml -->
<filter>
<filter-name>AuthenticateFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.affinity.tasc.filters.AuthenticateFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>AuthenticateFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Index</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Index</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.affinity.tasc.core.Index</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Index</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Index</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<-- end web.xml -->
<-- Filter code -->
package com.affinity.tasc.filters;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import com.affinity.tasc.beans.SiteUserBean;
public abstract class AuthenticateFilter implements Filter {
private FilterConfig fc;
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
/* Make sure we are dealing with HTTP */
if (req instanceof HttpServletRequest) {
HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)req;
HttpServletResponse response =
(HttpServletResponse)res;
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (request.getParameter("Authenticate").equals("1"))
{
try {
SiteUserBean user = new
SiteUserBean();
user.setUsername(
request.getParameter("username"));
user.setPassword(
request.getParameter("password"));
int authed = user.getUserAuthed();
/* Successful authentication */
if (authed > 0) {
session.setAttribute("user",
user);
}
session.setAttribute("authed",
authed);
} catch (NullPointerException nx) {
nx.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
/* Continue filtering */
chain.doFilter(req, res);
}
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException
{
this.fc = filterConfig;
}
public void destroy() {
this.fc = null;
}
}
<-- end filter code -->
Here is the output from catalina.out when I try to start tomcat with this
filter installed...
