Sorry, you have to cast the ServletRequest into an HttpServletRequest, like so:
> doFilter(final ServletRequest req, final ServletResponse res, FilterChain
> chain){
// cast the ServletRequest into an HttpServletRequest
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)req;
>
> String reqURL = request.getRequestURL.toString();
>
> // Need we invoke the BallViewer?
> if(reqURL.trim().endsWith("/")){
>
> }
>
> }
