[WLS 10.3.3]Servlet Filters Not Invoked with <FolderName> * in the url-pattern
Last updated on APRIL 15, 2018
Applies to:
Oracle Weblogic Server - Version: 10.3.3Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
When you try to deploy a webapp with url-pattern like "/foo/chi* on WLS 10.3.3, Servlet filter does not get applied i.e. The filter associated with this url-pattern does not get invoked.i.e.: Lets assume you have a jsp page (index.jsp) within folder foo\chi\index.jsp
MyFilter does not get invoked when you access the index.jsp using below url
http://localhost:7001/sample/foo/chi/index.jsp
Sample snippet from web.xml
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/foo/chi*.jsp</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/foo/chi*.jsp</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
However such url-pattern works fine with OC4J Container and the filter is invoked.
Changes
Users migrating from OC4J Container to Weblogic Server may encounter this issue.Cause
