Can you give any more information about what exactly isn't working? Since 
WebSphere
6.1 is a proprietary product, it is not easy for us to test this.

The problem's not in the Filter code but rather WebSphere changed the way they 
handle
servet filters after 6.1.0.5, if there's no file extension or a static file 
extension
the Servlet Filter just won't be invoked at all, which typically results in a 
404. 
These instructions for the WebSphere community will get the filters to behave 
as they
did before:

In the WebSphere Admin Console:

- expand Servers -> Application Servers -> <server> -> Web Container Settings 
-> Web
Container -> Custom Properties
- select New and then enter 
"com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokefilterscompatibility" as
the property name and "true" as the value
- save the update and restart the server

Closing, nothing to do here.
