public class DelegatingFilterProxy extends GenericFilterBean
web.xml
, specifying the name of the target bean in the Spring
application context.
web.xml
will usually contain a DelegatingFilterProxy
definition,
with the specified filter-name
corresponding to a bean name in
Spring's root application context. All calls to the filter proxy will then
be delegated to that bean in the Spring context, which is required to implement
the standard Servlet Filter interface.
This approach is particularly useful for Filter implementation with complex setup needs, allowing to apply the full Spring bean definition machinery to Filter instances. Alternatively, consider standard Filter setup in combination with looking up service beans from the Spring root application context.
NOTE: The lifecycle methods defined by the Servlet Filter interface
will by default not be delegated to the target bean, relying on the
Spring application context to manage the lifecycle of that bean. Specifying
the "targetFilterLifecycle" filter init-param as "true" will enforce invocation
of the Filter.init
and Filter.destroy
lifecycle methods
on the target bean, letting the servlet container manage the filter lifecycle.
As of Spring 3.1, DelegatingFilterProxy
has been updated to optionally
accept constructor parameters when using a Servlet container's instance-based filter
registration methods, usually in conjunction with Spring's
WebApplicationInitializer
SPI. These constructors allow
for providing the delegate Filter bean directly, or providing the application context
and bean name to fetch, avoiding the need to look up the application context from the
ServletContext.
This class was originally inspired by Spring Security's FilterToBeanProxy
class, written by Ben Alex.

The target bean must implement the standard Servlet Filter interface.
The given WebApplicationContext

a refresh()
