title: Using servlet filters with IBM Connections
body: <p>Hi I have the following problem:</p>
  
  <p>I am "customizing" IBM Connections 4.0, I need to do a terms and agreement popup and obviously have to validate whether certain user has already accepted such terms or not. I am using  servlet filters to "intercept" the url pattern /homepage/*, for such purpose I created a web application that I installed in the WAS 7 server on which the IBM Connections is host. My question, and problem, is: does it matter if I install my web application in a different node from that of the IBM Connections installation?</p>
