Hi Jacopo, Happy all work well!
I made a minor change on SeoContextFilter, moved several variables from doGet method to class private ones and initialized in init method (rev. 1761514). Cheers, Shi Jinghai -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Jacopo Cappellato [mailto:jacopo.cappell...@hotwaxsystems.com] 发送时间: 2016年9月19日 14:38 收件人: dev@ofbiz.apache.org 主题: Re: Ideas about OFBiz servlet filters Hi Jinghai, during the weekend I committed a series of changes to leverage the new ControlFilter (and simplify the ContextFilter and other filters) in all the OFBiz applications. It would be great if you (and anyone else) could help reviewing my work and testing the applications. Feel free to continue the cleanup/refactoring in the SEO filter (or any other filter): I just performed the most obvious ones.
