[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] - default servlet handling welcome page prior to filter runnin

I'm running JBoss 4.2.2 and have a filter in the ROOT.war WEB-INF/web.xml of the jboss-web.deployer. For some reason though when I request a page like http://host.domain.name/, the default servlet tacks on the index.html (which is a valid file and is one of the entries in the welcome file list of the web.xml) prior to my filter running. My filter is basically like the following: | <filter> | <filter-name>RewriteFilter</filter-name> | <filter-class>my.class.RewriteFilter</filter-class> | </filter> | | <filter-mapping> | <filter-name>RewriteFilter</filter-name> | <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> | </filter-mapping> | The default servlet portion of the jboss-web.deployer/conf/web.xml is like the following: | <servlet> | <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class> | <init-param> | <param-name>debug</param-name> | <param-value>0</param-value> | </init-param> | <init-param> | <param-name>listings</param-name> | <param-value>false</param-value> | </init-param> | <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> | </servlet> | Is there something I'm missing? Or will the default servlet always process before my filter? Thanks, Dave View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123650#...
