    What have you tried? Why didn't it work? You need to show us that you have at least put in a little effort. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 12:14
  • Also it's usually a good idea to put css,js,imgs into separate folder for static resources. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 12:17
  • I am not able to find that negate url pattern. that is how can I exclude static folder. Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 12:42
  • use something like *.htm. It will not intercept any of your static resources but you will have to match this pattern whenever you make an HTTP call to the servlet. Alternatively, you can also use the <servlet-name> element within the filter mapping and provide it the name of a servlet which, if called, will cause this filter to execute.
