Yes, I just came up with this solution myself! :) Thanks anyway. I'm
implemented it like this:

 public final static String[] LOGIN_FILTER_WHITELIST  = new String[] { "/images/.*\\.jpg",
                                                                       "/images/.*\\.gif",
                                                                       "/.*\\.css",
                                                                       "/template/errorpage\\.jsp"};
    .
    .
    
  private boolean checkWhiteList(String path) {
    for (int i = 0; i < Constants.LOGIN_FILTER_WHITELIST.length; i++) {
      if (path.matches(Constants.LOGIN_FILTER_WHITELIST[i]))
        return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
  
    .
    .

  HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
  if (checkWhiteList(httpRequest.getServletPath())) {
    chain.doFilter(request, response);
    return;
  }

Oh, thanks, I missed that. I'll fix that.. Great, all fine now!
Thanks.

You cannot use <url-pattern>*</url-pattern> in a filter mapping, it
has to be <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>. Tomcat dumps at this pattern
if I use it without a slash. And with a slash, it is parsing
subdirectories, as my images are in /images and haven't been loaded..

PS: sorry for double-sending (I'm not even sure if I did), but my
    mailer is quite buggy. :(
