The servlet specification doesn't say anything about the ordering of init calls to filters... only that they are guaranteed to be called before a request that needs that filter is processed. This leaves it up to the container implementors to decide what order to use. Top-down in the deployment descriptor (web.xml) would be a reasonable expectation, but it is by no means the standard. If you have filters that depend on each other, you might want to implement a lazy initialization strategy that actually delays initialization until after init() has been called on each of the filters. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkcYyQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBVegCfRw0PCZHjAzFbPfWyHdZyn5Vz XSIAn2exuvviBPbZxWOap7M9U+Ihso/d =x/k3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
