在spring中,filter都默认继承OncePerRequestFilter,但为什么要这样呢?
OncePerRequestFilter顾名思义,他能够确保在一次请求只通过一次filter,而不需要重复执行。
public final void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain) throws ServletException, IOException {
if(request instanceof HttpServletRequest && response instanceof HttpServletResponse) {
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse)response;
String alreadyFilteredAttributeName = this.getAlreadyFilteredAttributeName();
boolean hasAlreadyFilteredAttribute = request.getAttribute(alreadyFilteredAttributeName) != null;
if(!hasAlreadyFilteredAttribute && !this.skipDispatch(httpRequest) && !this.shouldNotFilter(httpRequest)) {
request.setAttribute(alreadyFilteredAttributeName, Boolean.TRUE);
try {
this.doFilterInternal(httpRequest, httpResponse, filterChain);
} finally {
request.removeAttribute(alreadyFilteredAttributeName);
}
} else {
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
} else {
throw new ServletException("OncePerRequestFilter just supports HTTP requests");
}
}
常识上都认为,一次请求本来就只过一次,为什么还要由此特别限定呢,实际上此方式是为了兼容不同的web container,特意而为之(jsr168),
也就是说并不是所有的container都像我们期望的只过滤一次,servlet版本不同,表现也不同
/**
* Filter base class that guarantees to be just executed once per request,
* on any servlet container. It provides a {@link #doFilterInternal}
* method with HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse arguments.
*
* <p>The {@link #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.

如,servlet2.3与servlet2.4也有一定差异
在servlet-2.3中,Filter会过滤一切请求,包括服务器内部使用forward转发请求和<%@ include file="/index.jsp"%>的情况。
到了servlet-2.4中Filter默认下只拦截外部提交的请求,forward和include这些内部转发都不会被过滤,但是有时候我们需要 forward的时候也用到Filter。
因此,为了兼容各种不同的运行环境和版本,默认filter继承OncePerRequestFilter是一个比较稳妥的选择
