We are using struts portlet bridge to migrate a struts application onto websphere portal server.
It works fine.
We need to use a servlet filter however in the portal environment the filter is ignored.
The filter works fine within tomcat version of the build.
Any idea if we need to configure anything special to make it work?

Are you using JSR168 portlets?
JSR168 portlets don't require a Servlet mapping in the web.xml file, which is where Servlet Filters are configured.
PortletFilters are a new, upcoming features with JSR268. You may have a problem getting them to work with JSR168.
Good luck.

I think it is the IBM portlet api.
We are using the struts-portlet bridge.
We have just changed the request processor in the struts-config.xml to com.ibm.portal.struts.portlet.WpRequestProcessor.
Any idea how to get a normal servlet filter work in the websphere portal server?

Well, you'd have to configure the filter in the web.xml file, but I would imagine it would then effect every portlet that comes in, not just one or two in particular.
JSR-268, the next version of the Portlet API, will address this, and make the whole situation much easier.
