The gear filter determines which gear a request pertains to. The gear filter is invoked in the Portal Filter Chain after the PortalServerFilter
. It is responsible for setting up the gearId
and gearMode
query parameters used when encoding gear URLs with the encodeGearURL
method. These default to paf_gear_id
and paf_gm
and are set by the gearIdParameterName
and gearModeParameterName
init parameters, respectively.
