Hi. I have a current project setup having a custom Authorization filter  & mapping defined in web.xml as below.

<filter>
       <filter-name>UserAuthorizationFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.pac.GenericAuthorizationFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>errorPage</param-name>
          <param-value>/jsp/common/commonError.faces</param-value>
         </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>GenericAuthorizationFilter</filter-name>
       <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
       <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
       <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
       <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
       <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping> 

As i wanted to added richfaces to my project i have done importing the apporipirate richfaces jars.  But when i include this below ajax4jsf filter the applicaiton server is not starting and throwing errors. I need some help in configuring 2 filters so normal authorization filter mechanism still works along with the new  ajax4jxf filter. Any help is highly appreciated..

     <filter>
       <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
       <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
    </filter>
   
    <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
       <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
       <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
       <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
       <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>
