Answer 1

That won't work, no regex can be used there. Try using this urls for your application:

http://localhost:8080/myapp/org/test/keys/SuperAdminReport/superAdminReport.jsp
http://localhost:8080/myapp/org/test/keys/Adminreport/adminReport.jsp
http://localhost:8080/myapp/org/test/keys/OtherReport/otherReport.jsp

And this config for your web.xml:

    myFilter
    /org/test/keys/*
