/**
*
* Defines a generic, protocol-independent
* filter. To write an HTTP filter for use on the
* Web, extend {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpFilter} instead.
*
* GenericFilter implements the Filter
* and FilterConfig interfaces. GenericFilter
* may be directly extended by a filter, although it's more common to extend
* a protocol-specific subclass such as HttpFilter.
*
*
GenericFilter makes writing filters
* easier. It provides simple versions of the lifecycle methods
* init and destroy and of the methods
* in the FilterConfig interface.
*
*
To write a generic filter, you need only
* override the abstract doFilter method.
