payara glassfish web xml filter url parsing

I have kind of below filter mapping my web xml. But the deployment fails. Is there an alternative ? thanks

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> <!-- this works -->

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/Application/*.html</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> <!-- this doesn't work with parsing error as below-->

Error

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URL Pattern: [{0}]

Solution

I'm afraid that mixing mapping by suffix and prefix, as in /Application/*.html isn't supported. You need to map with one of the following patterns:

/Application/* (everything with /Application prefix will be mapped)
/*.html (everything with the html suffix will be mapped)

If you want to mix them together, you can map by the prefix (the first option) to a proxy servlet, which would parse the URL in the request and forward it to the appropriate servlet with ServletContext.html#getNamedDispatcher and forward(req, resp), like this for a servlet named application-html:

if (request.getRequestURI().endsWith(".html")) {
  request.getServletContext()
    .getNamedDispatcher("application-html")
    .forward(request, response)
}
