Filter doing a redirect

[Erik Price <ep...@ptc.com>]

I wrote a filter, which performs a redirect *before* calling 
doFilterChain().  It is mapped to "/main.jsp".  I was hoping that this 
would cause the redirect to occur *before* calling main.jsp, but that 
appears not to be the case.  Does the redirect occur afterward even 
though I have not yet called doFilterChain() in my filter when I call 
the redirect?


Thanks,

Erik

Calling response.sendRedirect sets the HTTP status code to 302, and
populates the 'location' response header.  You almost always simply want to
'return;' from your Filter in this case (since the response is complete),
rather than proceed with doFilterChain.
