Do you have the ability to alter the configuration? I have another idea... Take Filter B completely out of the configuration for the webapp and install Filter D in its place. Filter D is a newly-written filter you write that does nothing but dispatch to a private instance of Filter B after checking the appropriate conditional that you set up (and probably note in the request attributes). If you want, you can fake the FilterChain object so that doFilter does nothing and then do the dispatch back to the FilterChain after FilterB.doFilter returns, or you can just let FilterB.doFilter call back into the filter chain itself. I think that should work. This strategy allows you to accomplish your goal with a minimum of effort. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiU/sAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBd7wCdHD7mNKNVZEzYoAetpfmMhLKL 0C0An3AIAgGwJ7ORINj1loN5KikQ21uH =r5iP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
