    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Filters declared by annotations without *
    *                      a filter element in the deployment      *

    ****************************************************************
    When the deployment descriptor contains a <filter-mapping>
    element, does not define that same filter in the <filter>
    element, and the filter is declared with the @WebFilter
    annotation the filter does not get invoked.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The WebContainer has been modified to fully process filters.
    
    A new WebContainer custom property needs to be set to enable
    this behavior:
    
    Name:
    com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.deferProcessingIncompleteFiltersInWebXML
    Values: true / false (default)
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpack 8.5.5.9.
