WebFilter urlPattern not working

Question

I'm trying to use WebFilter with JSF 2, but my filter not is working. The urlPattern is not recognized.

My Filter class:

@WebFilter(urlPatterns = {"/rws/*"})  
public class AuthorizationFilter implements Filter {  

    @Override  
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws ServletException, IOException {      
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;  
        HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);  
        Object o = session.getAttribute("user");  
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;  

        if(o == null)   
            res.sendRedirect(req.getContextPath() + "/login.xhtml");  
        else
            chain.doFilter(request, response);  
    }  

    @Override  
    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {  

    }  

    @Override  
    public void destroy() {  
    }  
}  

In my structure I want to protect all pages that are in the rws folder, but I could not configure the filter.

I've tried @ WebFilter ("/ rws / *") @ WebFilter ("/ faces / rws / *")

My filter never is executed!!

I noticed that the url does not change when I browse pages. For example, the user opens the index.xhtml performs login and then redirects to page loginOk.xhtml. LoginOk.xhtml page has links to pages that are in the folder rws.

When I click the link url does not change, ie, I'm browsing in a folder page rws but the url in the browser remains the same (http://jsftest.com:8080/TestePrimeFaces/faces/loginOK.xhtml). Is that the problem?

Used a commandLink as link, do not know if it is the most suitable. Does anyone know where is the problem?

add "@Component" like this.

@Component
@WebFilter(urlPatterns = {"/rws/*"})  
public class AuthorizationFilter implements Filter { ...
