Html5Mode in angular js for Java

Here's a sample Servlet filter implementation to allow return pages from the server with the / pattern.

Note: I've marked angularjs requests with "source" header set to "ng".

@WebFilter(urlPatterns = { "/*" })

public class Html5ModeFilter implements Filter {

@Override

public void destroy() {

}

@Override

public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException,

ServletException {

HttpServletRequest request = ((HttpServletRequest) req);

boolean notNgRequest = !"ng".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getHeader("source"));

String servletPath = request.getServletPath();

if (notNgRequest && !servletPath.contains(".")) { // skip .js, .css,

// .png, etc...

if (!"/".equalsIgnoreCase(servletPath)) {

((HttpServletResponse) res).sendRedirect("/?next=" + servletPath.substring(1));

return;

}

}

chain.doFilter(req, res);

}

@Override

public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {

}

}
