private int n = 0;
public static final int INCREMENT = 10;
void addFilter(ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig) {
// Prevent the same filter being added multiple times
for(ApplicationFilterConfig filter:filters)
if(filter==filterConfig)
return;
if (n == filters.length) {
ApplicationFilterConfig[] newFilters =
new ApplicationFilterConfig[n + INCREMENT];
System.arraycopy(filters, 0, newFilters, 0, n);
filters = newFilters;
}
filters[n++] = filterConfig;
}
变量n用来记录当前过滤器链里面拥有的过滤器数目,默认情况下n等于0,ApplicationFilterConfig对象数组的长度也等于0,所以当第一次调用addFilter()方法时,if (n == filters.length)的条件成立,ApplicationFilterConfig数组长度被改变。之后filters[n++] = filterConfig;将变量filterConfig放入ApplicationFilterConfig数组中并将当前过滤器链里面拥有的过滤器数目+1。
那ApplicationFilterChain的addFilter()方法又是在什么地方被调用的呢?

是在Applicatio
nFilterFactory类的createFilterChain()方法中。
[java]
public ApplicationFilterChain createFilterChain
(ServletRequest request, Wrapper wrapper, Servlet servlet) {
// get the dispatcher type
DispatcherType dispatcher = null;
if (request.getAttribute(DISPATCHER_TYPE_ATTR) != null) {
dispatcher = (DispatcherType) request.getAttribute(DISPATCHER_TYPE_ATTR);
}
String requestPath = null;
Object attribute = request.getAttribute(DISPATCHER_REQUEST_PATH_ATTR);
if (attribute != null){
requestPath = attribute.toString();
}
// If there is no servlet to execute, return null
if (servlet == null)
return (null);
boolean comet = false;
// Create and initialize a filter chain object
ApplicationFilterChain filterChain = null;
if (request instanceof Request) {
Request req = (Request) request;
comet = req.isComet();
if (Globals.IS_SECURITY_ENABLED) {
// Security: Do not recycle
filterChain = new ApplicationFilterChain();
if (comet) {
req.setFilterChain(filterChain);
}
} else {
filterChain = (ApplicationFilterChain) req.getFilterChain();
if (filterChain == null) {
filterChain = new ApplicationFilterChain();
req.setFilterChain(filterChain);
}
}
} else {
// Request dispatcher in use
filterChain = new ApplicationFilterChain();
}
filterChain.setServlet(servlet);
filterChain.setSupport
(((StandardWrapper)wrapper).getInstanceSupport());
// Acquire the filter mappings for this Context
StandardContext context = (StandardContext) wrapper.getParent();
FilterMap filterMaps[] = context.findFilterMaps();
// If there are no filter mappings, we are done
if ((filterMaps == null) || (filterMaps.length == 0))
return (filterChain);
// Acquire the information we will need to match f
