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

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 Assigned To: Pete Muir 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/*.
