can a Filter be used to pre-process calls to a websocket endpoint?

[Bob DeRemer <bo...@thingworx.com>]

Is it possible to programmatically add a Servlet Filter to Tomcat during the ContextInitialized call so that it filters requests going to a websocket endpoint?


Thanks,

My apologies for posting before trying.  I was able to do this using ServletContext.addFilter and the FilterRegistration.Dynamic functionality.  As I suspected, by adding a mapping for the respective URLs, the request is filtered - regardless of whether it's going to a Servlet or WebSocket Endpoint.
