How do you intercept operations using filters in Java?

In Java, filters can be used to intercept operations. Filters can intercept requests and responses before they reach the Servlet or before they are sent to the client, and then process them.

Here are the steps for intercepting operations using filters:

  1. Create a filter class that implements the javax.servlet.Filter interface, and override the doFilter method to handle requests and responses.
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class MyFilter implements Filter {
    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
        //过滤器初始化
    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        //在此处对请求进行处理
        //可以修改请求参数，设置请求头等

        //执行下一个过滤器或者Servlet
        chain.doFilter(request, response);

        //在此处对响应进行处理
        //可以修改响应内容，设置响应头等
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
        //过滤器销毁
    }
}
  1. Configure filters in the web.xml file.
<filter>
    <filter-name>myFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.example.MyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>myFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> //拦截所有请求
</filter-mapping>

The above configuration will intercept all requests and handle them using the MyFilter class.

Please note that the configuration sequence of filters is related to the order in which they intercept. If there are multiple filters, they can be configured in order in the web.xml file.

  1. In filters, you can use the request object and response object to retrieve information about the request and response, such as getting request parameters, setting request headers, and modifying response content.

By following the above steps, you can now use filters to intercept operations in Java.
