What is a Servlet Filter?
A filter is basically a component that is invoked whenever a resource is invoked for which the filter is mapped. The resource can be something like a servlet, or a URL pattern. A filter normally works on the request, response, or header attributes, and does not itself send a response to the client. 97) I am using the RequestDispatcher’s forward() method to redirect to a JSP. The problem is that the jsp’s url is now relative to the servlet’s url and all my url’s in the jsp such as will be corrupt. How do I solve this problem?
