<div class="block">A filter is an object that performs filtering tasks on either the request to
a resource (a servlet or static content), or on the response from a resource,
or both. <br>
<br>
Filters perform filtering in the <code>doFilter</code> method. Every Filter
has access to a FilterConfig object from which it can obtain its
initialization parameters, a reference to the ServletContext which it can
use, for example, to load resources needed for filtering tasks.
<p>
Filters are configured in the deployment descriptor of a web application
<p>
Examples that have been identified for this design are<br>
1) Authentication Filters <br>
2) Logging and Auditing Filters <br>
3) Image conversion Filters <br>
4) Data compression Filters <br>
5) Encryption Filters <br>
6) Tokenizing Filters <br>
7) Filters that trigger resource access events <br>
8) XSL/T filters <br>
9) Mime-type chain Filter <br></div>

<div class="block">The <code>doFilter</code> 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.
<p>
A typical implementation of this method would follow the following
pattern:- <br>
1. Examine the request<br>
2. Optionally wrap the request object with a custom implementation to
filter content or headers for input filtering <br>
3. Optionally wrap the response object with a custom implementation to
filter content or headers for output filtering <br>
4. a) <strong>Either</strong> invoke the next entity in the chain using
the FilterChain object (<code>chain.doFilter()</code>), <br>
4. b) <strong>or</strong> not pass on the request/response pair to the
next entity in the filter chain to block the request processing<br>
5. Directly set headers on the response after invocation of the next
entity in the filter chain.</div>

doFilter method again on this instance of the filter. <br>
<br>
This method gives the filter an opportunity to clean up any resources
that are being held (for example, memory, file handles, threads) and make
sure that any persistent state is synchronized with the filter's current
state in memory.</div>
