Tomcat Weblogic Filter Behaviour

[sandy gupta]

Its very weird but i noticed something that i thought i should share with all you people.
With tomcat server, the filter gets invoked only once per request but for Weblogic, the filter gets invoked everytime my struts based application tries to read data from the bean while compiling the jsp page.
Did anyone notice this behaviour in weblogic. I work on wl 8.1.
The solution to this was devised in the form of a request attribute which decides whether the filter(s) has(ve) been visited and just call the chained filter in case the processing has already been done for this request.
