Doubt on Filters

[Padma priya Gururajan]

Hi,
With regard to the order in which filter is called, it is said that the ordr in which they appear in the DD does not matter. Can anybody elaborate on this?
With regards,

Wrong. From the spec :

The order the container uses in building the chain of filters to be applied for a particular request URI is as follows:
1. First, the <url-pattern> matching filter mappings in the same order that these elements appear in the deployment descriptor.
2. Next, the <servlet-name> matching filter mappings in the same order that
these elements appear in the deployment descriptor.
