public abstract class OncePerRequestFilter extends GenericFilterBean
Filter base class that aims to guarantee a single execution per request dispatch, on any servlet container. It provides adoFilterInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, javax.servlet.FilterChain)
method with HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse arguments.As of Servlet 3.0, a filter may be invoked as part of a
REQUEST
orASYNC
dispatches that occur in separate threads. A filter can be configured inweb.xml
whether it should be involved in async dispatches. However, in some cases servlet containers assume different default configuration. Therefore sub-classes can override the methodshouldNotFilterAsyncDispatch()
to declare statically if they should indeed be invoked, once, during both types of dispatches in order to provide thread initialization, logging, security, and so on. This mechanism complements and does not replace the need to configure a filter inweb.xml
with dispatcher types.Subclasses may use
isAsyncDispatch(HttpServletRequest)
to determine when a filter is invoked as part of an async dispatch, and useisAsyncStarted(HttpServletRequest)
to determine when the request has been placed in async mode and therefore the current dispatch won't be the last one for the given request.Yet another dispatch type that also occurs in its own thread is
ERROR
. Subclasses can overrideshouldNotFilterErrorDispatch()
if they wish to declare statically if they should be invoked once during error dispatches.The
getAlreadyFilteredAttributeName()
method determines how to identify that a request is already filtered. The default implementation is based on the configured name of the concrete filter instance.- Since:

Method Detail
doFilter
public final void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain) throws ServletException, IOException
ThisdoFilter
implementation stores a request attribute for "already filtered", proceeding without filtering again if the attribute is already there.
isAsyncDispatch
protected boolean isAsyncDispatch(HttpServletRequest request)
The dispatcher typejavax.servlet.DispatcherType.ASYNC
introduced in Servlet 3.0 means a filter can be invoked in more than one thread over the course of a single request. This method returnstrue
if the filter is currently executing within an asynchronous dispatch.- Parameters:
request
- the current request- Since:
- 3.2
- See Also:
WebAsyncManager.hasConcurrentResult()
isAsyncStarted
protected boolean isAsyncStarted(HttpServletRequest request)
Whether request processing is in asynchronous mode meaning that the response will not be committed after the current thread is exited.- Parameters:
request
- the current request- Since:
- 3.2
- See Also:
WebAsyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()
getAlreadyFilteredAttributeName
protected String getAlreadyFilteredAttributeName()
Return the name of the request attribute that identifies that a request is already filtered.The default implementation takes the configured name of the concrete filter instance and appends ".FILTERED". If the filter is not fully initialized, it falls back to its class name.
shouldNotFilter
protected boolean shouldNotFilter(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException
Can be overridden in subclasses for custom filtering control, returningtrue
to avoid filtering of the given request.The default implementation always returns
false
.- Parameters:
request
- current HTTP request- Returns:
- whether the given request should not be filtered
- Throws:
ServletException
- in case of errors
shouldNotFilterAsyncDispatch
protected boolean shouldNotFilterAsyncDispatch()
The dispatcher typejavax.servlet.DispatcherType.ASYNC
introduced in Servlet 3.0 means a filter can be invoked in more than one thread over the course of a single request. Some filters only need to filter the initial thread (e.g. request wrapping) while others may need to be invoked at least once in each additional thread for example for setting up thread locals or to perform final processing at the very end.Note that although a filter can be mapped to handle specific dispatcher types via
web.xml
or in Java through theServletContext
, servlet containers may enforce different defaults with regards to dispatcher types. This flag enforces the design intent of the filter.The default return value is "true", which means the filter will not be invoked during subsequent async dispatches. If "false", the filter will be invoked during async dispatches with the same guarantees of being invoked only once during a request within a single thread.
- Since:
- 3.2
shouldNotFilterErrorDispatch
protected boolean shouldNotFilterErrorDispatch()
Whether to filter error dispatches such as when the servlet container processes and error mapped inweb.xml
. The default return value is "true", which means the filter will not be invoked in case of an error dispatch.- Since:
- 3.2
doFilterInternal
protected abstract void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain) throws ServletException, IOException
Same contract as fordoFilter
, but guaranteed to be just invoked once per request within a single request thread. SeeshouldNotFilterAsyncDispatch()
for details.Provides HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse arguments instead of the default ServletRequest and ServletResponse ones.
- Throws:
ServletException
IOException
