[Mukesh Prajapati]

is it possible to apply one Filter to more than two Servlet??? please reply soon...... please give me such example. how to do it?

[Paul Clapham]

Yes, it is possible.

Why do you ask? Did you have some problem when you tried to do it?

[Bosun Bello]

You can just map the filter to be executed on the urls that match your servlets.

And an example:
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet1</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Servlet2</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet2</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- this filter will run for all servlets in this web app --> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>Servlet2</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <!-- OR you can do something like this --> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>Servlet2</servlet-name> <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name> <servlet-name>Servlet2</servlet-name> <!-- more servlet names here --> </filter-mapping>
