Hi, I have a servlet and a filter I want to be run when that servlet is accessed. However, the servlet is never accessed directly via the browser. Rather, it's embedded in a frameset and launched using something like this: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="thatframe.src='http://myhost/mycontext/myservlet'; return true;"> click here </a>
So in my web.xml, I have: <filter> <filter-name>myFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>myFilterClass</filter-class> </filter-name> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>myFilter</filter-name> <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name> </filter-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>myServletClass</servlet-class> </servlet> The problem is, tomcat never calls doFilter() for my filter when that servlet is called. The filter gets initialized appropriately (I have logging comments on the filter's init(), doFilter(), destroy() methods). If I go to http://myhost/mycontext/myservlet myself, the filter does get called, so I know it has to do with the calling mechanism, filter-mapping, or something along these lines.
