Hi Frank
Thank you for your reply.
This is how I registered the session filter in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>SessionFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.avery.view.filter.SessionFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SessionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*.jsf</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
I'll try to use phaselisenter as you suggested.
Also, one more thing please, in the session filter, I have something like this.
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
System.out.println("JF--- Calling the Filter");
if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) {
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse)response;
HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession();
String url = httpRequest.getPathTranslated();
String path = httpRequest.getContextPath() + httpRequest.getServletPath();
if (httpRequest.getRequestURI().equals(path+"/Login")) {
System.out.println(" the request path is" + httpRequest.getRequestURI().toString());
session.setAttribute("WELCOME", Boolean.TRUE);
chain.doFilter(request, response);
else if (session.getAttribute("WELCOME") == null){
httpResponse.sendRedirect(path+"/Login");
else {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
else {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
Do you think it looks right ?
thanks
