<section name="Introduction">

  <p>Tomcat provides a number of <strong>Filters</strong> which may be
  configured for use with all web applications using
  <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml</code> or may be configured for individual
  web applications by configuring them in the application's
  <code>WEB-INF/web.xml</code>. Each filter is described below.</p>

    <p><em>This description uses the variable name $CATALINA_BASE to refer the
    base directory against which most relative paths are resolved. If you have
    not configured Tomcat for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE
    directory, then $CATALINA_BASE will be set to the value of $CATALINA_HOME,
    the directory into which you have installed Tomcat.</em></p>

<section name="Add Default Character Set Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>The HTTP specification is clear that if no character set is specified for
    media sub-types of the "text" media type, the ISO-8859-1 character set must
    be used. However, browsers may attempt to auto-detect the character set.
    This may be exploited by an attacker to perform an XSS attack. Internet
    Explorer and other browsers have an option to
    enable this behavior.</p>

    <p>This filter prevents the attack by explicitly setting a character set.
    Unless the provided character set is explicitly overridden by the user the
    browser will adhere to the explicitly set character set, thus preventing the
    XSS attack.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Filter Class Name">

    <p>The filter class name for the Add Default Character Set Filter is
    <strong><code>org.apache.catalina.filters.AddDefaultCharsetFilter</code>
    </strong>.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Initialisation parameters">

    <p>The Add Default Character Set Filter supports the following initialization
    parameters:</p>

    <attributes>

      <attribute name="encoding" required="false">
        <p>Name of the character set which should be set, if no other character set
        was set explicitly by a Servlet. This parameter has two special values
        <code>default</code> and <code>system</code>. A value of <code>system</code>
        uses the JVM wide default character set, which is usually set by locale.
        A value of <code>default</code> will use <strong>ISO-8859-1</strong>.</p>
      </attribute>

<section name="CORS Filter">
  <subsection name="Introduction">
    <p>This filter is an implementation of W3C's CORS (Cross-Origin Resource
    Sharing) <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/">specification</a>, which is a
    mechanism that enables cross-origin requests.</p>
    <p>The filter works by adding required <code>Access-Control-*</code> headers
    to HttpServletResponse object. The filter also protects against HTTP
    response splitting. If request is invalid, or is not permitted, then request
    is rejected with HTTP status code 403 (Forbidden). A
    <a href="../images/cors-flowchart.png">flowchart</a> that
    demonstrates request processing by this filter is available.</p>
    <p>The minimal configuration required to use this filter is:</p>
    <source><![CDATA[<filter>
  <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>]]></source>
    <p>The above configuration enables the filter but does not relax the
    cross-origin policy. As a minimum, you will need to add a
    <strong>cors.allowed.origins</strong> initialisation parameter as described
    below to enable cross-origin requests. Depending on your requirements, you
    may need to provide additional configuration.</p>
    <p>An instance of this filter can only implement one policy. If you want to
    apply different policies (e.g. different allowed origins) to different URLs
    or sets of URLs within your web application you will need to configure a
    separate instance of this filter for each policy you wish to configure.</p>
  </subsection>
  <subsection name="Filter Class Name">
    <p>The filter class name for the CORS Filter is
    <strong><code>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</code></strong>.</p>
  </subsection>
  <subsection name="Initialisation parameters">
    <p>The CORS Filter supports following initialisation parameters:</p>
    <attributes>
      <attribute name="cors.allowed.origins" required="false">
        <p>A list of <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6454">origins</a>
        that are allowed to access the resource. A <code>*</code> can be
        specified to enable access to resource from any origin. Otherwise, an
        allow list of comma separated origins can be provided. Eg: <code>
        https://www.w3.org, https://www.apache.org</code>.
        <strong>Defaults:</strong> The empty String. (No origin is allowed to
        access the resource).</p>

        <p>A comma separated list of HTTP methods that can be used to access the
        resource, using cross-origin requests. These are the methods which will
        also be included as part of <code>Access-Control-Allow-Methods</code>
        header in pre-flight response. Eg: <code>GET, POST</code>.
        <strong>Defaults:</strong> <code>GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS</code></p>
      </attribute>
      <attribute name="cors.allowed.headers" required="false">
        <p>A comma separated list of request headers that can be used when
        making an actual request. These headers will also be returned as part
        of <code>Access-Control-Allow-Headers</code> header in a pre-flight
        response. Eg: <code>Origin,Accept</code>. <strong>Defaults:</strong>
        <code>Origin, Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type,
        Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers</code></p>
      </attribute>
      <attribute name="cors.exposed.headers" required="false">
        <p>A comma separated list of headers other than simple response headers
        that browsers are allowed to access. These are the headers which will
        also be included as part of <code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code>
        header in the pre-flight response. Eg:
        <code>X-CUSTOM-HEADER-PING,X-CUSTOM-HEADER-PONG</code>.
        <strong>Default:</strong> None. Non-simple headers are not exposed by
        default.</p>

        <p>The amount of seconds, browser is allowed to cache the result of the
        pre-flight request. This will be included as part of
        <code>Access-Control-Max-Age</code> header in the pre-flight response.
        A negative value will prevent CORS Filter from adding this response
        header to pre-flight response. <strong>Defaults:</strong>
        <code>1800</code></p>
      </attribute>
      <attribute name="cors.support.credentials" required="false">
        <p>A flag that indicates whether the resource supports user credentials.
        This flag is exposed as part of
        <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> header in a pre-flight
        response. It helps browser determine whether or not an actual request
        can be made using credentials. <strong>Defaults:</strong>

<section name="CSRF Prevention Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>This filter provides basic CSRF protection for a web application. The
    filter assumes that it is mapped to <code>/*</code> and that all URLs
    returned to the client are encoded via a call to
    <code>HttpServletResponse#encodeRedirectURL(String)</code> or
    <code>HttpServletResponse#encodeURL(String)</code>.</p>

    <p>This filter prevents CSRF by generating a nonce and storing it in the
    session. URLs are also encoded with the same nonce. When the next request is
    received the nonce in the request is compared to the nonce in the session
    and only if they are the same is the request allowed to continue.</p>

<section name="CSRF Prevention Filter for REST APIs">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>This filter provides basic CSRF protection for REST APIs. The CSRF
    protection is applied only for modifying HTTP requests (different from GET,
    HEAD, OPTIONS) to protected resources. It is based on a custom header
    <code>X-CSRF-Token</code> that provides a valid nonce.</p>

    <p>CSRF protection mechanism for REST APIs consists of the following steps:
      <ul>
        <li>Client asks for a valid nonce. This is performed with a
            non-modifying "Fetch" request to protected resource.</li>
        <li>Server responds with a valid nonce mapped to the current user
            session.</li>
        <li>Client provides this nonce in the subsequent modifying requests in
            the frame of the same user session.</li>
        <li>Server rejects all modifying requests to protected resources that
            do not contain a valid nonce.</li>
      </ul>

          the subsequent modifying requests to protected resources.</li>
      <li>Modifying requests can be denied and header

<section name="Expires Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>
    ExpiresFilter is a Java Servlet API port of <a
    href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_expires.html">Apache
    mod_expires</a>.
    This filter controls the setting of the <code>Expires</code> HTTP header and the
    <code>max-age</code> directive of the <code>Cache-Control</code> HTTP header in
    server responses. The expiration date can set to be relative to either the
    time the source file was last modified, or to the time of the client access.
    </p>

    <p>
    These HTTP headers are an instruction to the client about the document's
    validity and persistence. If cached, the document may be fetched from the
    cache rather than from the source until this time has passed. After that, the
    cache copy is considered &quot;expired&quot; and invalid, and a new copy must
    be obtained from the source.
    </p>
    <p>
    To modify <code>Cache-Control</code> directives other than <code>max-age</code> (see
    <a href="https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9" >RFC
    2616 section 14.9</a>), you can use other servlet filters or <a
    href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_headers.html" >Apache Httpd
    mod_headers</a> module.

    where <code>&lt;base&gt;</code> is one of:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li><code>access</code></li>
    <li><code>now</code> (equivalent to '<code>access</code>')</li>
    <li><code>modification</code></li>
    </ul>

    <p>
    The <code>plus</code> keyword is optional. <code>&lt;num&gt;</code> should be an
    integer value (acceptable to <code>Integer.parseInt()</code>), and
    <code>&lt;type&gt;</code> is one of:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li><code>year</code>, <code>years</code></li>
    <li><code>month</code>, <code>months</code></li>
    <li><code>week</code>, <code>weeks</code></li>
    <li><code>day</code>, <code>days</code></li>
    <li><code>hour</code>, <code>hours</code></li>
    <li><code>minute</code>, <code>minutes</code></li>
    <li><code>second</code>, <code>seconds</code></li>
    </ul>
    <p>
    For example, any of the following directives can be used to make documents
    expire 1 month after being accessed, by default:
    </p>

    <source><![CDATA[<init-param>
 <param-name>ExpiresDefault</param-name>
 <param-value>access plus 1 month</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>
 <param-name>ExpiresDefault</param-name>
 <param-value>access plus 30 days</param-value>
</init-param>]]></source>
<p>
The expiry time can be fine-tuned by adding several
'<code>&lt;num&gt; &lt;type&gt;</code>' clauses:
</p>

<source><![CDATA[<init-param>

    <p>The <strong>Expires Filter</strong> supports the following
    initialisation parameters:</p>

    <attributes>

      <attribute name="ExpiresExcludedResponseStatusCodes" required="false">
         <p>
         This directive defines the http response status codes for which the
         <code>ExpiresFilter</code> will not generate expiration headers. By default, the
         <code>304</code> status code (&quot;<code>Not modified</code>&quot;) is skipped. The
         value is a comma separated list of http status codes.
         </p>
         <p>
         This directive is useful to ease usage of <code>ExpiresDefault</code> directive.
         Indeed, the behavior of <code>304 Not modified</code> (which does specify a
         <code>Content-Type</code> header) combined with <code>Expires</code> and
         <code>Cache-Control:max-age=</code> headers can be unnecessarily tricky to
         understand.
         </p>
         <p><i>See sample below the table</i></p>
      </attribute>

      <attribute name="ExpiresByType &lt;content-type&gt;" required="false">
         <p>
         This directive defines the value of the <code>Expires</code> header and the
         <code>max-age</code> directive of the <code>Cache-Control</code> header generated for
         documents of the specified type (<i>e.g.</i>, <code>text/html</code>). The second
         argument sets the number of seconds that will be added to a base time to
         construct the expiration date. The <code>Cache-Control: max-age</code> is
         calculated by subtracting the request time from the expiration date and
         expressing the result in seconds.
         </p>
         <p>
         The base time is either the last modification time of the file, or the time
         of the client's access to the document. Which should be used is
         specified by the <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> field; <code>M</code> means that the
         file's last modification time should be used as the base time, and
         <code>A</code> means the client's access time should be used. The duration
         is expressed in seconds. <code>A2592000</code> stands for
         <code>access plus 30 days</code> in alternate syntax.
         </p>
         <p>
         The difference in effect is subtle. If <code>M</code> (<code>modification</code> in
         alternate syntax) is used, all current copies of the document in all caches
         will expire at the same time, which can be good for something like a weekly
         notice that's always found at the same URL. If <code>A</code> (
         <code>access</code> or <code>now</code> in alternate syntax) is used, the date of
         expiration is different for each client; this can be good for image files
         that don't change very often, particularly for a set of related
         documents that all refer to the same images (<i>i.e.</i>, the images will be
         accessed repeatedly within a relatively short timespan).
         </p>
         <p>
         <strong>Note:</strong> When the content type includes a charset (e.g.
         <code>'ExpiresByType text/xml;charset=utf-8'</code>), Tomcat removes blank chars
         between the '<code>;</code>' and the '<code>charset</code>' keyword. Due to this,
         configuration of an expiration with a charset must <strong>not</strong> include
         such a space character.
         </p>
         <p><i>See sample below the table</i></p>
         <p>
         It overrides, for the specified MIME type <i>only</i>, any
         expiration date set by the <code>ExpiresDefault</code> directive.
         </p>
         <p>
         You can also specify the expiration time calculation using an alternate
         syntax, described earlier in this document.

         description of that directive for details about the syntax of the

<section name="Failed Request Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>This filter triggers parameters parsing in a request and rejects the
    request if some parameters were skipped during parameter parsing because
    of parsing errors or request size limitations (such as
    <code>maxParameterCount</code> attribute in a
    <a href="http.html">Connector</a>).
    This filter can be used to ensure that none parameter values submitted by
    client are lost.</p>

    <p>Note that parameter parsing may consume the body of an HTTP request, so
    caution is needed if the servlet protected by this filter uses
    <code>request.getInputStream()</code> or <code>request.getReader()</code>
    calls. In general the risk of breaking a web application by adding this
    filter is not so high, because parameter parsing does check content type
    of the request before consuming the request body.</p>

    <p>Note, that for the POST requests to be parsed correctly, a
    <code>SetCharacterEncodingFilter</code> filter must be configured above
    this one. See CharacterEncoding page in the FAQ for details.</p>

    <p>The request is rejected with HTTP status code 400 (Bad Request).</p>

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>Tomcat port of
    <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_remoteip.html">mod_remoteip</a>,
    this filter replaces the apparent client remote IP address and hostname for
    the request with the IP address list presented by a proxy or a load balancer
    via a request headers (e.g. &quot;X-Forwarded-For&quot;).</p>

    <p>Another feature of this filter is to replace the apparent scheme
    (http/https), server port and <code>request.secure</code> with the scheme presented
    by a proxy or a load balancer via a request header
    (e.g. &quot;X-Forwarded-Proto&quot;).</p>

    <p>If used in conjunction with Remote Address/Host filters then this filter
    should be defined first to ensure that the correct client IP address is
    presented to the Remote Address/Host filters.</p>

    <p><strong>Note:</strong> By default this filter has no effect on the
    values that are written into access log. The original values are restored
    when request processing leaves the filter and that always happens earlier
    than access logging. To pass the remote address, remote host, server port
    and protocol values set by this filter to the access log,
    they are put into request attributes. Publishing these values here
    is enabled by default, but <code>AccessLogValve</code> should be explicitly
    configured to use them. See documentation for
    <code>requestAttributesEnabled</code> attribute of
    <code>AccessLogValve</code>.</p>

    <p>The names of request attributes that are set by this filter
    and can be used by access logging are the following:</p>

    <ul>
      <li><code>org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.RemoteAddr</code></li>
      <li><code>org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.RemoteHost</code></li>
      <li><code>org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.Protocol</code></li>
      <li><code>org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.ServerPort</code></li>
      <li><code>org.apache.tomcat.remoteAddr</code></li>
    </ul>

    directed to a dedicated file and that the
    <code>org.apache.juli.VerbatimFormatter</code> is used.</p>

    <p><strong>WARNING: Using this filter has side-effects.</strong>  The
    output from this filter includes any parameters included with the request.
    The parameters will be decoded using the default platform encoding. Any
    subsequent calls to <code>request.setCharacterEncoding()</code> within
    the web application will have no effect.</p>

<section name="Session Initializer Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">
    <p>The Session Initializer Filter initializes the <code>javax.servlet.http.HttpSession</code>
    before the Request is processed.  This is required for JSR-356 compliant WebSocket implementations,
    if the <code>HttpSession</code> is needed during the HandShake phase.</p>

    <p>The Java API for WebSocket does not mandate that an <code>HttpSession</code> would
    be initialized upon request, and thus <code>javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest</code>'s
    <code>getSession()</code> returns <code>null</code> if the <code>HttpSession</code> was not
    initialized in advance.</p>

    <p>This filter solves that problem by initializing the HttpSession for any <code>HttpServletRequest</code>
    that matches its <code>url-pattern</code>.</p>
  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Filter Class Name">
    <p>The filter class name for the Session Initializer Filter is
    <strong><code>org.apache.catalina.filters.SessionInitializerFilter</code></strong>.</p>

  <subsection name="Initialisation parameters">
    <p>The Session Initializer Filter does not support any initialization parameters.</p>

  <subsection name="Sample Configuration">
    <p>The following entries in the Web Application Deployment Descriptor, <strong>web.xml</strong>,

<section name="Set Character Encoding Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>User agents don&apos;t always include character encoding information in
    requests. Depending on the how the request is processed, usually the
    default encoding of ISO-8859-1 is used. This is not always
    desirable. This filter provides options for setting that encoding or
    forcing it to a particular value. Essentially this filter calls
    <code>ServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding()</code> method.</p>

    <p>Effectively the value set by this filter is used when parsing parameters
    in a POST request, if parameter parsing occurs later than this filter. Thus
    the order of filter mappings is important. Note that the encoding for GET
    requests is not set here, but on a <b>Connector</b>. See
    CharacterEncoding page in the FAQ for details.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Filter Class Name">

    <p>The filter class name for the Set Character Encoding Filter is
    <strong><code>org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</code>
    </strong>.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Initialisation parameters">

    <p>The Set Character Encoding Filter supports the following initialization
    parameters:</p>

    <attributes>

      <attribute name="encoding" required="true">
        <p>Name of the character encoding which should be set.</p>
      </attribute>

      <attribute name="ignore" required="false">
        <p>Determines if any character encoding specified by the user agent is
        ignored. If this attribute is <code>true</code>, any value provided by
        the user agent is ignored. If <code>false</code>, the encoding is only
        set if the user agent did not specify an encoding. The default value
        is <code>false</code>.</p>
      </attribute>

    </attributes>

<section name="WebDAV Fix Filter">

  <subsection name="Introduction">

    <p>Microsoft operating systems have two WebDAV clients. One is used with
    port 80, the other is used for all other ports. The implementation used with
    port 80 does not adhere to the WebDAV specification and fails when trying to
    communicate with the Tomcat WebDAV Servlet. This Filter provides a fix for
    this by forcing the use of the WebDAV implementation that works, even when
    connecting via port 80.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Filter Class Name">

    <p>The filter class name for the WebDAV Fix Filter is
    <strong><code>org.apache.catalina.filters.WebdavFixFilter</code>
    </strong>.</p>

  </subsection>

  <subsection name="Initialisation parameters">

    <p>The WebDAV Fix Filter does not support any initialization parameters.</p>
