    I am having problem using filter mapping in in Tomcat 5.0 on windows
    I tried the following in my web.xml.
    ...
    <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>foo.bar.MyFilter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>/content/*.jsp</url-pattern>
       </filter-mapping>
    ...
    When I start Tomcat it tells me:
    SEVERE: Parse error in application web.xml
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid <url-pattern> /content/*.jsp in
    filter mapping
    at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java:2540)
            at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java:2566)
            at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.endElement(Digester.java:1061)
    ...

    It doesn't do it in a friends Tomcat 4.1 on Linux
    Is this some kind of change in behavior from Tomcat 4.0 to 5.0?
    (Tomcat 5.0 is Servlet API 2.4 and JSP 2.0)

    The idea is that I want it to run my this filter before all JSP pages, but
    not with all .jpg, .gif requests that come in, even if they are within
    the some directory structure.

    Seems simple enough in the example from a friends Tomcat 4.0
