Quiz

1:	Does a filter need to be thread-safe?
2:	What is the purpose of the wrapper classes?

Answers

A1:	A filter may need to be thread-safe. A container creates only one instance of a filter to service resources and will reuse that filter for many requests. Filters should be designed to handle concurrent requests.
A2:	Wrapper classes can save you time by providing a prebuilt class that implements the appropriate interfaces so that you can adapt a request to a servlet. The four wrapper classes are ServletRequestWrapper, ServletResponseWrapper, HttpServletRequestWrapper, and HttpServletResponseWrapper.

Activity

Using the sendRedirect method in an HttpServletResponse object, write a filter that redirects requests for a page at a URL to another location.
