The annotation used to declare a Servlet
jakarta.servlet.Filter.
This annotation will be processed by the container during deployment, the Filter class in which it is found will be
created as per the configuration and applied to the URL patterns,
jakarta.servlet.Servlets and
jakarta.servlet.DispatcherTypes.
If the name attribute is not defined, the fully qualified name of the class is used.
At least one URL pattern MUST be declared in either the
value or
urlPattern attribute of the
annotation, but not both.
The
value attribute is recommended for use when the URL pattern is the only attribute being set, otherwise
the
urlPattern attribute should be used.
The annotated class MUST implement
jakarta.servlet.Filter. E.g.
@WebFilter("/path/*")
public class AnExampleFilter implements Filter { ...
