Re: [servlet-dev] Cosmetic change - nest URL patterns in Filter/Servlet

[Jan Bartel <janb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you proposing that the <filter> element would take only a single <url-pattern>, or would it take multiple <url-pattern>s?

What about <servlet-name> style mappings?

Would this be a replacement for the <filter-mapping>, or in addition to them? The merging rules across web.xml/web-fragment.xml for the <url-pattern> (<servlet-name>?) portion of the <filter> would be as per the merging rules for <filter-mapping>?

Hi,

Quite often I see patterns like the following: n I see 

<filter>

    <filter-name>SomePath</filter-name>

    <filter-class>org.example.Filter</filter-class>

</filter>

<filter-mapping>

    <filter-name>SomePath</filter-name>

    <url-pattern>/SomePath</url-pattern>

</filter-mapping>

What about making it a little more compact as an option and allow for:

<filter>

    <filter-class>org.example.Filter</filter-class>

    <url-pattern>/SomePath</url-pattern>

</filter>

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
