Hi,
I wrote the following filter and wrapper:
* filters parameters: ContentType and expires.
*/
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
if (filterConfig == null) {
return;}

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
JPServletResponseWrapper responseWrapper = new
JPServletResponseWrapper(res);

chain.doFilter(req, responseWrapper);

String result = responseWrapper.toString();

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

int length = result.length() >= 10000 ? 10000 : result.length();
int jpHTTPHeaderTag = result.substring(0, length).indexOf("jp-http-
header");
if (jpHTTPHeaderTag != -1) {
int contentTypeIndex = result.indexOf("Content-type",
jpHTTPHeaderTag);
int contentTypeIndexStart = result.indexOf("#", contentTypeIndex);
int contentTypeIndexEnd = result.indexOf("#", contentTypeIndexStart +
1);
String contentType = result.substring(contentTypeIndexStart + 1,
contentTypeIndexEnd);
res.setContentType(contentType);
out.write(result);} else {
out.write(result);
}

out.close();

long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Time to execute request: " + (stopTime -
startTime) + " milliseconds");

}

public void init(FilterConfig config) {
filterConfig = config;}

public void destroy() {
filterConfig = null;

}

but when condition to set the content type as from the html file
applies,
res.setContentType(contentType) - doesn't do anything!


You might want to debug the filter via Eclipse or something similar.
How do you know it does not do anything ? Did you check the content
Type received on the browser ? I strongly suggest debugging/stepping
through every line of the filter.
