public ESAPIFilter()

Method Detail

init

public void init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig filterConfig)

Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being placed into service. The servlet container calls the init method exactly once after instantiating the filter. The init method must complete successfully before the filter is asked to do any filtering work.

Specified by:

init in interface javax.servlet.Filter

Parameters:

filterConfig - configuration object

doFilter

public void doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest req,
                     javax.servlet.ServletResponse resp,
                     javax.servlet.FilterChain chain)
              throws java.io.IOException

The doFilter method of the Filter is called by the container each time a request/response pair is passed through the chain due to a client request for a resource at the end of the chain. The FilterChain passed in to this method allows the Filter to pass on the request and response to the next entity in the chain.

Specified by:

doFilter in interface javax.servlet.Filter

Parameters:

req - Request object to be processed

resp - Response object

chain - current FilterChain

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if any occurs

destroy

public void destroy()

Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being taken out of service. This method is only called once all threads within the filter's doFilter method have exited or after a timeout period has passed. After the web container calls this method, it will not call the doFilter method again on this instance of the filter.

Specified by:

destroy in interface javax.servlet.Filter
