在How Tomcat Works（十四）中，本人并没有对javax.servlet.Filter及javax.servlet.FilterChain做详细的描述，本文在这里做一下补充
FilterChain接口只有一个方法，方法声明如下：
public void doFilter ( ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response ) throws IOException, ServletException;
在tomcat中，org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain类实现了该接口
ApplicationFilterChain类采用一个私有成员变量private ArrayList filters = new ArrayList()保存ApplicationFilterConfig对象的集合，ApplicationFilterConfig类实现了javax.servlet.FilterConfig接口，封装了对Filter实例的管理
下面是向ArrayList filters集合添加ApplicationFilterConfig实例
void addFilter(ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig) {
this.filters.add(filterConfig);
}
setServlet()方法用于向ApplicationFilterChain对象设置当前的servlet实例
void setServlet(Servlet servlet) {
this.servlet = servlet;
}
在ApplicationFilterChain类的实现FilterChain接口方法doFilter()中，调用了其私有方法internalDoFilter()，下面是该方法的具体实现
private void internalDoFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException { // Construct an iterator the first time this method is called
if (this.iterator == null)
this.iterator = filters.iterator(); // Call the next filter if there is one
if (this.iterator.hasNext()) {
ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig =
(ApplicationFilterConfig) iterator.next();
Filter filter = null;
try {
filter = filterConfig.getFilter();
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.BEFORE_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response);
filter.doFilter(request, response, this);
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response);
} catch (IOException e) {
if (filter != null)
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (ServletException e) {
if (filter != null)
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
if (filter != null)
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (Throwable e) {
if (filter != null)
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response, e);
throw new ServletException
(sm.getString("filterChain.filter"), e);
}
return;
} // We fell off the end of the chain -- call the servlet instance
try {
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.BEFORE_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response);
if ((request instanceof HttpServletRequest) &&
(response instanceof HttpServletResponse)) {
servlet.service((HttpServletRequest) request,
(HttpServletResponse) response);
} else {
servlet.service(request, response);
}
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response);
} catch (IOException e) {
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (ServletException e) {
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response, e);
throw e;
} catch (Throwable e) {
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response, e);
throw new ServletException
(sm.getString("filterChain.servlet"), e);
} }
在调用了filter.doFilter(request, response, this)方法之后，继续执行servlet的service()方法
这里的this是ApplicationFilterChain对象自身，在我们编写的Filter实现类里面同在在执行完我们实现的过滤方法之后会继续调用FilterChain对象的void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)方法，我们自定义的过滤器通常会这样实现：
class SampleFilter implements Filter {
........
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
//do something
.....
//request, response传递给下一个过滤器进行过滤
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
ApplicationFilterConfig类实现了javax.servlet.FilterConfig接口，代表一个Filter容器，FilterConfig接口定义如下：
public interface FilterConfig {
public String getFilterName();
public ServletContext getServletContext();
public String getInitParameter(String name);
public Enumeration getInitParameterNames();
}
可以通过传入org.apache.catalina.Context对象和FilterDef对象（FilterDef对象用于对过滤器类的定义，包括过滤器类名、相关参数等）传给其构造函数构造一个ApplicationFilterConfig对象：
public ApplicationFilterConfig(Context context, FilterDef filterDef)
throws ClassCastException, ClassNotFoundException,
IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException,
ServletException { super();
this.context = context;
setFilterDef(filterDef); }
ApplicationFilterConfig类的getFilter()方法返回一个javax.servlet.Filter对象，该方法负责载入并实例化一个过滤器类
Filter getFilter() throws ClassCastException, ClassNotFoundException,
IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, ServletException { // Return the existing filter instance, if any
if (this.filter != null)
return (this.filter); // Identify the class loader we will be using
String filterClass = filterDef.getFilterClass();
ClassLoader classLoader = null;
if (filterClass.startsWith("org.apache.catalina."))
classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
else
classLoader = context.getLoader().getClassLoader(); ClassLoader oldCtxClassLoader =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); // Instantiate a new instance of this filter and return it
Class clazz = classLoader.loadClass(filterClass);
this.filter = (Filter) clazz.newInstance();
filter.init(this);
return (this.filter); }
现在，也许我们更容易理解StandardWrapperValve类中创建过滤器链createFilterChain()方法了
private ApplicationFilterChain createFilterChain(Request request,
Servlet servlet) { // If there is no servlet to execute, return null
if (servlet == null)
return (null); // Create and initialize a filter chain object
ApplicationFilterChain filterChain =
new ApplicationFilterChain();
filterChain.setServlet(servlet);
StandardWrapper wrapper = (StandardWrapper) getContainer();
filterChain.setSupport(wrapper.getInstanceSupport()); // Acquire the filter mappings for this Context
StandardContext context = (StandardContext) wrapper.getParent();
FilterMap filterMaps[] = context.findFilterMaps(); // If there are no filter mappings, we are done
if ((filterMaps == null) || (filterMaps.length == 0))
return (filterChain);
// if (debug >= 1)
// log("createFilterChain: Processing " + filterMaps.length +
// " filter map entries"); // Acquire the information we will need to match filter mappings
String requestPath = null;
if (request instanceof HttpRequest) {
HttpServletRequest hreq =
(HttpServletRequest) request.getRequest();
String contextPath = hreq.getContextPath();
if (contextPath == null)
contextPath = "";
String requestURI = ((HttpRequest) request).getDecodedRequestURI();
if (requestURI.length() >= contextPath.length())
requestPath = requestURI.substring(contextPath.length());
}
String servletName = wrapper.getName();
// if (debug >= 1) {
// log(" requestPath=" + requestPath);
// log(" servletName=" + servletName);
// }
int n = 0; // Add the relevant path-mapped filters to this filter chain
for (int i = 0; i < filterMaps.length; i++) {
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Checking path-mapped filter '" +
// filterMaps[i] + "'");
if (!matchFiltersURL(filterMaps[i], requestPath))
continue;
ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig = (ApplicationFilterConfig)
context.findFilterConfig(filterMaps[i].getFilterName());
if (filterConfig == null) {
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Missing path-mapped filter '" +
// filterMaps[i] + "'");
; // FIXME - log configuration problem
continue;
}
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Adding path-mapped filter '" +
// filterConfig.getFilterName() + "'");
filterChain.addFilter(filterConfig);
n++;
} // Add filters that match on servlet name second
for (int i = 0; i < filterMaps.length; i++) {
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Checking servlet-mapped filter '" +
// filterMaps[i] + "'");
if (!matchFiltersServlet(filterMaps[i], servletName))
continue;
ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig = (ApplicationFilterConfig)
context.findFilterConfig(filterMaps[i].getFilterName());
if (filterConfig == null) {
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Missing servlet-mapped filter '" +
// filterMaps[i] + "'");
; // FIXME - log configuration problem
continue;
}
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Adding servlet-mapped filter '" +
// filterMaps[i] + "'");
filterChain.addFilter(filterConfig);
n++;
} // Return the completed filter chain
// if (debug >= 2)
// log(" Returning chain with " + n + " filters");
return (filterChain); }
