I want to create a new SSO filter in to my existing alfresco bundle. Steps which I tried are;

  1. Creating a simple Java project in Eclipse and creating a class which implements Filter and writing code there.

  2. Then extract the project as a JAR file and putting it into share/WEB-INF/lib.

  3. Registering that filter in share/WEB-INF/web.xml.

Is it the right way of adding a new filter? If not, please share the right procedure...

    Does it work? Do you hit any problems with doing that? – Gagravarr May 13 '13 at 09:53
  • Not working.., the filter is not executing I think. Don't know the actual procedure to create a filter. So before checking my code, let me know, am I following right steps or not... – Boat May 13 '13 at 10:07

    I would suggest you create a "Hello World" webapp, and then follow some basic filter tutorials to add a test filter into that. Only when you grasp those basics is it worth trying with something more complex like Alfresco... – Gagravarr May 13 '13 at 10:10
  • I have tried that. Done samples in web app. Now, I am in need of adding one filter in Alfresco, So please let me know the procedure of adding a filter in Alfresco. – Boat May 13 '13 at 11:40

IMHO this is the right procedure. But your filter must respect some rules to work well, btw in web.xml the definition order of your filters is important.
