Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Can a in me web.xml file specify that a filter should be used for every request except one.
I can write;
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
to use it on every request. But how do I exclude one specific resource that shouldn't go though the filter.

I know that this may not be exactly the right forum but i'm really lost. I appreciate all suggestion.

Thanks / Daniel
