RE: Installing Filters

Just checking my server config:
	actually do have (in http-server.props)
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.filters=org.w3c.jigsaw.filters.CCPPFilter
NOT 
> You mean
> org.w3c.www.protocol.http.filters=org.w3c.www.jigsaw.filters.C
> CPPFilter :)

as as the original header filter's path doesn't have a www in it.  But why
do I need to change the config files at all as HeaderFilter shows up without
any mention in any header file?  I have read all the examples for creating
filters many times but still can't get it to work.  Do the .java files need
to be compiled with special flags?  

Does anything have to be added to the other properties files?

But all is not lost.  If I actually modify a filter that already shows up in
JigAdmin (like HeaderFilter) to do something totally different and replace
the compiled .class file then it works!
