A proxy server (228) operative to accept plug-in filters to perform forward and reverse filtering between a client process (210) and a server process (208). In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a method of filtering information includes the steps of receiving a request by the proxy server (228) from a client (210). The proxy server (228) identifies a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a server process (208) in the request and compares that URL against filter rules previously defined to the system. In the event the URL satisfies one of the filter rules, a filter servlet associated with the satisfied filter rule is used to filter the requested information. A filter servlet is a set of instructions that, when executed, filters the information. The filtered request is then used to retrieve information from a server process (208). Similarly, the same filtering process may be performed on a response from the server process (208) destined for a client process (210). |
