[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-2494) Replace Tomcat url-pattern matching with real regex in Seam filter

[Christian Bauer (JIRA)]

Replace Tomcat url-pattern matching with real regex in Seam filter
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2494
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2494
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Christian Bauer


In AbstractFilter.java, someone took this from Tomcat:

   /**
    * Pattern matching code, adapted from Tomcat. This method checks to see if
    * the specified path matches the specified pattern.
    * 
    * @param request ServletRequest The request containing the path
    * @return boolean True if the path matches the pattern, false otherwise
    */
   public boolean isMappedToCurrentRequestPath(ServletRequest request)

What we really need is url-pattern="{regex}". Drop the Tomcat pattern nonsense with the wildcards and use a regex. Probably needs to be backwards compatible now with an additional url-pattern-regex="{regex}" property. 

Usecase: Filter /servlets/* AND  /Feed/*.
