How I've tackled it is by setting a request scope attribute in the filter.
Before the filter is applied, a check is performed to see if this attribute
has been set or not.. if it has then the request is an internal request.
In doFilter()
// Check if filter has been marked as applied
if ( request.getAttribute( "filterapplied" ) != null ) {
// Been done already - jump to next filter
getFilterConfig().getNext().doFilter( request, response );
}
else {
// Hasn't been applied yet, mark it as applied and do
request.setAttribute( "filterapplied", Boolean.TRUE );
// do filter stuff
}

I'm implementing a clickstream analysis application, and I've run into a

Using servlet filter to intercept requests and add to the streams, I
intercept all of the Orion internal requests as well! (ee jsp:include
requests)
Is there anyway to tell from looking at a request object or it's headers,
whether the request came from Orion as an include, or from an external user?

Subject: TheServerSide forgot Orion
The latest newsletter from TheServerSide.com includes this little
snippet, included in a discussion of "What makes an application server
succeed":
* Being compliant with the latest specs. Again, BEA has
shined here. They were 6 months ahead of the pack with
their EJB 1.0 product, which positioned them extremely well.
And they pulled it off again, recently releasing their EJB 2.0
beta server far sooner than any other vendor. History, it
seems, has repeated itself, and other vendors are playing
catch-up.
I think those of us who have been using the EJB2.0 support in Orion to
develop our beans for the last several months can see the error in that
statement :-) WebLogic doesn't even have support yet for
container-managed relationships. Geez.
I sent TheServerSide a little note urging them to issue a correction.
It's more likely to happen if they get many more comments.
