Hi,
I have a web application that is secured through the URL-pattern check in the web.xml. Within a
servlet in this application I use the request dispatcher to forward the request to another servlet but the URL
pattern check does not occur when the request is forwarded(access is granted directly). The
Java EE specification states "Security constraints work only on the original request URI and not on calls made through a RequestDispatcher".
Is there any way in which I can actually forward the request to another servlet and have this request go through the URL security check before the request is processed ?
