Servlet Filter: The Essentials of Filters

The Essentials of Filters:

"The order of the filters in the chain is the same as the order that filter mappings appear in the web application deployment descriptor."

This fact is contradiction to the XML specification, where the order of TAGS in the same level doesn't matter!! A better solution would be to give some numbers to the filters or to put subsequent filtes in sublevels of the XML TAGS.

Any comments to this problem? Add your comments please.

JDOM a (better?) alternative way to handle XML

JDOM

The standard XML parser for Java (included in the JDK) is Xerces from XML Apache. JDOM seems to be an easier to use framework for handling XML data. Actually the RC for Version 1.0 is available.
