 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * 
 * 
 * 	Declaration of the filter mappings in this web
 * 	application is done by using filter-mappingType.
 * 	The container uses the filter-mapping
 * 	declarations to decide which filters to apply to a request,
 * 	and in what order. The container matches the request URI to
 * 	a Servlet in the normal way. To determine which filters to
 * 	apply it matches filter-mapping declarations either on
 * 	servlet-name, or on url-pattern for each filter-mapping
 * 	element, depending on which style is used. The order in
 * 	which filters are invoked is the order in which
 * 	filter-mapping declarations that match a request URI for a
 * 	servlet appear in the list of filter-mapping elements.The
 * 	filter-name value must be the value of the filter-name
 * 	sub-elements of one of the filter declarations in the
 * 	deployment descriptor.
