Excluding paths from the Ambient Data Framework filter

You do not want the Ambient Data Framework filter to run when accessing certain paths on the Web site (for example, the httpupload/ path on which the upload servlet is listening). You need to exclude such paths from filtering in the Ambient Data Framework configuration file.

Procedure

  1. Open cd_ambient_conf.xml in a plain-text or XML editor.
  2. Below the <Securities> section and above the <Cookies> section, ensure the presence of a section called <ExcludedPaths>.
  3. Insert one or more <Path> elements set to a relative path that you want to exclude from filtering:
    </Securities>
    	<ExcludedPaths>
    		<Path>/httpupload</Path>
    	</ExcludedPaths>
    	<Cookies>

    The example excludes the path /httpupload from triggering execution of the Ambient Data Framework filter.

  4. Save and close cd_ambient_conf.xml.
