Can one dynamically disable a servlet filter under some conditions, from

You could /probably/ -- untested conjecture -- break the FilterChain at
that point by forwarding to a URL for which Filter B wasn't applied (or
was applied only to a REQUEST rather than FORWARD.
On second read, can you elaborate on that one ?
Do I understand correctly, as follows ?
Originally, I have for the servlet a <url-pattern> like, for instance
<url-pattern>*.xyz</url-pattern>
and I have for filter B (the one to disable) a
<servlet-name>servletX</servlet-name>
I would
a) replace this last by a <url-pattern>*.xyz</url-pattern>
b) make filter A, in case it doesn't want filter B to run, change the
request URL to, e.g., "something.abc", so that filter B does not run
anymore.
c) change the servlet def. so that it handles url-patterns "*.abc" AND
"*.xyz".
Yes ?
If that works, that's a clever idea, which seems not too difficult to
implement, even for me.
