[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] - Filter and servlet mappings

[adamw]

Hello,
   I have a servlet mapped to /*:

  | <servlet-mapping>
  |         <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
  |         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  | </servlet-mapping>
  | 

and a filter mapped to /something/*:

  | <filter-mapping>
  |         <filter-name>myFilter</filter-name>
  |         <url-pattern>/something/*</url-pattern>
  |         <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
  |         <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
  | </filter-mapping>
  | 

At some point in my servlet, I forward the request:

  | response.setContentType("text/html");
  | request.getRequestDispatcher("/something/sth2").forward(request, response);
  | 

However, the filter doesn't get invoked. The request goes straight to the servlet. Why is that?
