The advantage of a filter is that, unlike a servlet, it can choose not to process the request and let whatever is next in chain try. So when using a Wicket filter and a request comes in for foo.gif the filter can choose not to process it because it knows it is not a wicket-related request. Since the filter didn't process it, it falls on to the application server to try, and then it works." @see WicketServlet for documentation @author Jonathan Locke @author Timur Mehrvarz @author Juergen Donnerstag @author Igor Vaynberg (ivaynberg) @author Al Maw @author jcompagner @author Matej Knopp
