 * <!-- begin-user-doc -->
 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Filter Mapping</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- 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.
 *
