I'm curious about your use-case. Why would you want to re-write the
user's request?

Once Tomcat has consumed the request body -- like for a POST where
some component has called any "getParameter" method on the request --
then Tomcat will return the previously-parsed data. If you don't
re-write the request before then, you'll have no effect, unless the
servlet itself reads the request... which will probably work.

I'm pretty sure the above is going to display "Welcome" no matter what
your Filter does (as long as it doesn't crash or return without
calling down the chain). What were you expecting?

You might want to make sure the encoding is right on that getBytes()
call. It's got nothing to do with whatever problem you're having, but
good to think about for the future.

I think that's about the best you can do. Just make sure that the
Filter is the first possible Filter to run (i.e. is mapped topmost in
web.xml).

So... what were you expecting here and what did you get?
