Declaring the BTM Servlet Filter to the Servlet container

A web deployment descriptor (web.xml) is included in the web archive (WAR) file of the Java EE web application to be monitored.

You need to declare the BTM Servlet Filter in web.xml using a filter element, and provide a mapping to tell the servlet container which requests should be filtered via a filter-mapping element.

When making changes to an existing web.xml, be careful to adhere to the correct element ordering appropriate to the version of Java EE you are using. The resulting XML file must conform to the DTD or XML Schema definition being used. The web application might not deploy correctly if errors are introduced into the deployment descriptor.

  • Open the appropriate web.xml file in a text editor and modify the elements filter and filter-mapping. The child elements and attributes are described in web.xml elements.
