copied!<p>The standard Servlet API doesn't support this facility. You may want either to use a rewrite-URL filter for this like <a href="http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/" rel="noreferrer">Tuckey's one</a> (which is much similar Apache HTTPD's <code>mod_rewrite</code>), or to add a check in the <code>doFilter()</code> method of the Filter listening on <code>/*</code>.</p> <pre><code>String path = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getRequestURI(); if (path.startsWith("/specialpath/")) { chain.doFilter(request, response); // Just continue chain. } else { // Do your business stuff here for all paths other than /specialpath. } </code></pre> <p>You can if necessary specify the paths-to-be-ignored as an <code>init-param</code> of the filter so that you can control it in the <code>web.xml</code> anyway. You can get it in the filter as follows:</p> <pre><code>private String pathToBeIgnored; public void init(FilterConfig config) { pathToBeIgnored = config.getInitParameter("pathToBeIgnored"); } </code></pre> <p>If the filter is part of 3rd party API and thus you can't modify it, then map it on a more specific <code>url-pattern</code>, e.g. <code>/otherfilterpath/*</code> and create a new filter on <code>/*</code> which forwards to the path matching the 3rd party filter.</p> <pre><code>String path = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getRequestURI(); if (path.startsWith("/specialpath/")) { chain.doFilter(request, response); // Just continue chain. } else { request.getRequestDispatcher("/otherfilterpath" + path).forward(request, response); } </code></pre> <p>To avoid that this filter will call itself in an infinite loop you need to let it listen (dispatch) on <code>REQUEST</code> only and the 3rd party filter on <code>FORWARD</code> only.</p> <h3>See also:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13521946/how-to-prevent-static-resources-from-being-handled-by-front-controller-servlet-w">How to prevent static resources from being handled by front controller servlet which is mapped on /*</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1483063/spring-mvc-3-and-handling-static-content-am-i-missing-something">How to handle static content in Spring MVC?</a></li> </ul>
