Environment:

I'm trying to execute a filter requests when the application context path is called but I didn't find any way with url-pattern.

I would like to execute a filter when request this url http://localhost:8080/myapp but the filter is not triggered.

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>PrincipalFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

I also tried with emtpy string but I got an error on parsing web.xml on deploying.

Any ideas?

Have you tried `/*`? – Nikos Paraskevopoulos Nov 27 '19 at 10:47
Yes, but this not only take context path but also all others. I was looking for only trigger for the context path. Otherwise I could deal with the concrete path on doFilter method... – Joe Nov 27 '19 at 11:10
