Problem invoking filter

Question

Hi,
I have an existing application with java 1.3 specifications. I have servlets and JSPs in the appication where I am using requestdispatcher to forward control to JSPs. I want to invoke a filter everytime the servlet forward the control to any JSP in my application.
I did the mapping as
<filter>
<filter-name>Filter1</filter-name>
<display-name>Filter1</display-name>
<filter-class>pkg.Filter1</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Filter1</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Options already tried:
1) Coding only servlet mapping.
2) adding servlet mapping to the above mapping.
With the above mapping, the filter is not getting executed when request is forwarded to JSP.
When I am adding servlet mapping, the filter is invoked and as I am modifying the response in the filter, I am getting response already committed.
Can someone please let me know what is going wrong in my setup and it would be great if some can share thier code and filter-mapping with me.

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Starting with Java Servlet 2.4 you can use the
<dispatcher> element in the
<filter-mapping> element:
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
We are still using WAS 5.
Is there any work around for running it with servlet 2.3.
