Hello all, As i have read from Servlet 3.0 specification about filters "A Filter and the target servlet or resource at the end of the filter chain must execute in the same invocation thread".
This mean if there are many Async Requests which are connected to filters, many filters will be init but not destroyed until response come back or filter work finish. As we know Tomcat uses thread per request through Java NIO. More simultaneous requests(connected to filters) cause more threads to be consumed, which cancels out the benefit of the thread-per-request approach to a high degree. This is my understanding please correct to me if there are mistake?
