I believe in BASIC auth, the client already has the auth failed page during authentication. Once authentication fails, that page is displayed. Short of the images and other resources the error page needs, there is not another request to the server hence no filter call.

Hello,


    I have configured a SimpleServletFilter to act as my authentication
filter, i want it to do certain things after the authentication has failed.

    My application is being authenticated using a TOMCAT JDBC Realm. The
authentication scheme is BASIC.

    I noticed that the filter is being called after the authentication is
done, that is only if it is a valid user the filter is being called.

The filter is not called at all in case the authentication has failed.




Any ideas on this problem will be much appreciated.

Thanks
