JBoss EAP7 skips servlet filters in web.xml

[pranav.cache]

We are migrating an old application. We had to use Jdeveloper and Jboss server.

We have build the application on JDeveloper 12c and then created a war file by creating a profile. Later we deployed this war file in JBoss EAP 7.0.0 server (copied the war and pasted in D:\jboss-eap-7.0.0\standalone\deployments) and started the standalone. The application is coming up but its not executing the filters we have mentioned in the web.xml file. I have written a SysOut statement in doFilter , which is not showing up.

If we run the applicatioin Jdeveloper itself its running fine in the default weblogic server.

Are we missing something? Below is the web.xml file.

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

Please provide the url you are accessing to run the servlet filter and also paste the content of the `com.org.aad.BasicFilter` you are using.

I have same problem, I have deployed my application on openshift jboss EWS 7.. and I can see my new filter classes in web_inf dir on server.. but the servlet filter does not intercept requests

public class AuthenticationFilter implements Filter {

    private final static org.apache.log4j.Logger LOG = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger("AuthenticationFilter");

    private static final String LOG_IN_PAGE = "login.jsp";

    private static final String CLIENT_VIEW_PAGE = "ClientView.jsp";

    @Override

    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {

        //noop

    }

    @Override

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

        //session already active in JSP

        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;

        HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) response;

        HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);

        boolean pageAllowedWithoutEntitlements = isPageAllowedWithoutEntitlements(req);

        boolean loggedIn = (session != null) && (session.getAttribute("app_user") != null);

        try {

            if (loggedIn || pageAllowedWithoutEntitlements || req.getRequestURI().matches(".*(css|ico|jpg|png|gif|svg|js|otf|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$")) {

                  chain.doFilter(request, response);

else {

                LOG.warn("Page requested but user not logged in , redirecting to login page: " + req.getRequestURI());

                String REDIRECT_URL = LOG_IN_PAGE;
                    resp.sendRedirect(resp.encodeRedirectURL(REDIRECT_URL));
}

}
}

	@Overrid
	public void destroy() {
	//noop
	}

/***********************webxml ****************************************/

We had the same problem when we moved to EAP7.

To fix we added another filter mapping without the wildcard:

  <filter-mapping>

           <filter-name>BasicFilter</filter-name>

           <url-pattern>/controller/*</url-pattern>

   </filter-mapping>

  <filter-mapping>

           <filter-name>BasicFilter</filter-name>

           <url-pattern>/controller/</url-pattern>

   </filter-mapping>

No idea why it's working now, but it is
