Realms and Filters question

[Brett Parsons <br...@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,

I've implemented a custom realm and a custom filter for my webapp.  The idea 
is, I want the filter to handle incoming requests for ALL resources within 
the webapp while the realm is only going to handle several resources within 
the webapp.

The problem is, I need the filter to be called before the realm, but this 
doesn't seem to be happening.  Is there anyway to specify whether the realm 
or the filter gets hit first?

For instance, right now, my request is following this order:

Realm -> Filter

But I want it to follow this order:

Filter -> Realm

I appreciate any help you can provide !!!

Thanks,

Brett P

Yup, my major complaint with Servlet Authentication. You either use all of
it or none of it. I'd like to think that they'd make it a little more
flexible in the future, but they haven't yet, and it's been this way for
quite awhile.

The realm logic will be called before the filter logic. No way around it.
