filter name tag reference - novalexei/mod_servlet GitHub Wiki

#####<filter-name>

This tag specifies the filter name.

The name is symbolic only, and does not have to match the name of the java class.

The purpose of this tag is to provide a way to match a <filter> tag which defines the filter, with one or more <filter-mapping> tags, which define which URLs will activate the filter. It is therefore a required sub-element of both of these elements.
