Servlet Filter issue with Jboss Portal 2.6

[nidhi_hs]

My requirement is to check if the user has logged in when a particular page is clicked in the portal. If the user has not logged in then I have to redirect to login page.

To achieve this I went about defining a servlet filter in web.xml file to intercept the user request. However the doFilter method in my filter class does not get invoked.

Am I missing something ? Any help on this greatly appreciated.

Someone please help me on this. Its urgent !!

It's the default behavior...

Try to go on: http://localhost:8080/portal/auth/portal/admin

To convince yourself.

(BTW, For urgent matters, there is a support service that we provide)

I dont think you got my requirement correctly. Basically my requirement is to intercept a request when a page is clicked and do some processing. I am using servlet filters for that purpose and its not working.

Is servlet filter supported ?

[nidhi_hs]

I am still stuck with this problem. Anybody knows why this is not working ??

Your need to tell web.xml that you want to invoke the filter on forward and include. Otherwise only the filters applied on the portal-server context will be invoked

[nidhi_hs]

Could you please tell me how do I specify in web.xml. Currently I have the filter specified in web.xml with url pattern as "/*".

I don't remember exactly the syntax, if you google a bit you should find it.

<filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>myfilter</filter-name>
 <servlet-name>includedservlet</servlet-name>
 <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
 <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

I had the same problem.

An old thread, but for completeness sake: Kudos to swisst. It works.

Hi

I have the same problem on JBOSS 4.2.2 GA portal 2.6.4, I added the FORWARD and include but it still does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
