A simple filter question ..

> I am trying to make a filter that will redirect all request that don't have a autheticated attribute set, to be redirected to the login page.

> The only confirmation i get that this filter is in fact loaded into tomcat, is that during startup my constructor is called. I know that since the system out call writes to the console.

> The filter is supposed to take all request to the site since the url-pattern is set to /*

> 	public BidFilter() {System.out.println("Filter Constructor");}

>   public void init(FilterConfig f) {}
