System and method for HTTP request preprocessing for servlets and application servers
First Claim
1. A system for using preprocessors to respond to uniform resource indicator requests in application servers, comprising:
- a web server component for receiving uniform resource indicator requests and passing said requests to the application server;
a preprocessor for modifying said requests before communicating them to a destination resource; and
, a configuration file for specifying a particular preprocessor to be mapped to said uniform resource indicator request.

Abstract
The invention provides a system and method for providing http request preprocessing for servlets. Preprocessors are server-side components designed to handle HTTP requests, and are primarily targeted for use with Web applications written according to the J2EE Servlets and JSP specifications. To do this, the invention provides an architecture for the support of preprocessing HTTP requests. During request processing, the preprocessor components gain control before J2EE servlets are invoked. The preprocessors can thus influence the behavior of the servlet engine by participating in targeting the request to a servlet.
