在resin 3.0.9 及以前版本下，下面几种写法都是可以的，而放到Tomcat 5.0 下则抛出这个异常：
严重: Parse error in application web.xml

必须写成这个：
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
写成这个不行：
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
而我改成这样，却是正确的，通过了：
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
因此，我认为这是个bug。
