[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5550) servlet filter mapping empty string not working

[Remy Maucherat (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5550?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Remy Maucherat resolved AS7-5550.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected


Filters have "*" as the default mapping for all paths (unlike Servlets which use "/"), so "/" is the exact mapping for "/" as it should be (unlike Servlets) and there's no reason to use "" which means nothing as a path.

> The empty string ("") is a special URL pattern that exactly maps to the
