How to add filters to servlet without modifying web.xml

Question

I\'d like the ability to modify/configure filters in a different way than web.xml. Here is a static configuration of 2 filters. I\'d like the ability to have one filter stat

Answer 1

Servlet 3.0 has the @WebFilter annotation to define a filter. No need to declare it in web.xml anymore.

But loading a filter from a filter is not supported. You could implement it yourself: it's "just" the chain of responsibility pattern, but why would you?
