Servlet Filter Question

[listsubscriber]

I am using a servlet filter in conjunction with commons-fileupload to
upload files. I am also using JSF which is turning out to be a
nightmare of a technology. I have a backing bean which handles all the
submits for the forms. However, when I get to the form with the file
upload boxes, the filter kicks in and performs the file upload.

Now the problem I am encountering is the backing bean is never updated
like it was when the request was with normal request. The next step in
the navigation is never shown because the logic in the backing bean is
never executed to figure out the next step.

Am I missing something with the filter? I have my
chain.doFilter(req,res) in all my filters and they seem to work until
the multipart/form-data filter actually does work.

Thanks.

Doh, order of operation matters!!!! And chain.doFilter ain't required!
