  public void destroy()

  Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.Filter
  Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being taken out of service. This method is only called once all threads within the filter's doFilter method have exited or after a timeout period has passed. After the web container calls this method, it will not call the doFilter method again on this instance of the filter.
  
  This method gives the filter an opportunity to clean up any resources that are being held (for example, memory, file handles, threads) and make sure that any persistent state is synchronized with the filter's current state in memory.

  Specified by:

  destroy in interface Filter

• isConfigProblemFatal

  Determines if an exception when calling a setter or an unknown configuration attribute triggers the failure of the this filter which in turn will prevent the web application from starting.

  Returns:

  true if a problem should trigger the failure of this filter, else false
