Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server version 6   *
    *                 users of servlet filters.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WebContainer is not calling servlet *
    *                      filters when a resource is not found.   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    During the processing of a request for a particular resource
    the WebContainer does not call any custom servlet filters. It
    is not uncommon for a developer to write a custom servlet
    filter that will modify the request to look in a different
    location if a particular resource was not found.
    Also, custom servlet filters were are not called prior to
    iterating through the welcome file list in search of a resource.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The WebContainer code was modified to call the custom servlet
    filters prior to looking for welcome files.  Also, if the
    WebContainer cannot find a resource, it will now call the
    filters before throwing a FileNotFoundException in case the
    filters modify the path to the resource.
    
    The following WebContainer custom property must be set to
    'true' for this new behaviour to be enabled:
    'com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokeFiltersCompatibility'
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpacks 6.0.2.21 and 6.1.0.9.
