Filter

[Deepak Jain]

   <filter>
<filter-name>LogInCheck</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.example.LogInCheck</filter-class>
   </filter>
   
  <filter-mapping>
<filter-name>LogInCheck</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
 

Is the above filter mapping incorrect?
The error i get is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Filter mapping must specify either a <url-pattern> or a <servlet-name>

All am trying is to map every request to go through the above filter.

Answer:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>LogInCheck</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

/ is a must. I forgot this
