Servlet and Filter management
Use the Servlet & Filter management landing page to manage settings in your Pega Cloud applications without the need to create service requests to manage filtering configurations.
Servlet Management and Filter Management have URL patterns in common. Both the filter and servlet are pieces of code that are run.
Filters are run before servlets. If the request proceeds, the servlet processes the request and then returns a response. The filter is an in-bound response only. The filter sits in front of the servlet.
The filter information is saved in database and is registered during server startup using the dynamic filter registration mechanism that the Servlet 3.0 provides through Java reflection APIs.
