JBoss EAP7 skips servlet filters in web.xml

pranav.cache Dec 29, 2016 3:56 AM

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 ****************************************/

   <filter>
        <filter-name>LoggingFilter</filter-name>

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
