Answer 1

This is possible duplicate to Servlet Filter going in infinite loop when FORWARD used in mapping in JSF

Otherwise should check what your JSP contains, it could be that it makes request for css or image files that can result in this behaviour. Also would recommend to try without a wildcard.
