Hi,

So we are running a web application that has been tested on Tomcat, Glassfish, WebLogic and WebSphere. All run correctly except WebSphere. The issue is that filters are not processed for files under a certain directory.

For example I have a filter that checks the user's lanuage from browser cookies and another that get the user's username, in the web.xml there are configured like so:

<!-- ****************************** -->
<!-- * Security context filtering * -->
<!-- ****************************** -->

<filter>
	<filter-name>SetSecurityContextFilter</filter-name>
	<filter-class>
		com.test.security.SecurityContextServletFilter
	</filter-class>
</filter>

<!-- ****************************** -->
<!-- ** Locale context filtering ** -->
<!-- ****************************** -->

<filter>
	<filter-name>SetLocaleFilter</filter-name>
	<filter-class>
		com.test.locale.LocaleServletFilter
	</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
	<filter-name>SetSecurityContextFilter</filter-name>
	<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter-mapping>
	<filter-name>SetLocaleFilter</filter-name>
	<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Both filters set a static threadlocal variable which can be accessed from a static getter, but when the same file 'test.jsp' invokes the getters, under 'contextroot/js' they return the default values (as if unset) while under 'contextroot/pages' they are correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
