4.2.1.3.4: Filtering and chaining servlets

The Application Server supports two kinds of filtering:

  • MIME-based filtering involves configuring the servlet engine to forward HTTP responses with the specified MIME type to the designated servlet for further processing.
  • Servlet chaining involves defining a list (a sequence) of two or more servlets such that the request object and the ServletOutputStream of the first servlet is passed to the next servlet in the sequence. This process is repeated at each servlet in the list until the last servlet returns the response to the client.
