You can specify the filter name prefix and suffix (the <filter-name> tag Prefix and Suffix fields on the Java EE Names tab of the Editor | Code Style | Java page in the Settings dialog). In that case, the prefix and the suffix are added before and after the specified name automatically.

Package

Click . Then select an existing package or click to create a new package.

Class

The fully qualified name of the filter class.

The default class name is generated using the package name, the class name prefix, the filter name, and the class name suffix.

The class name prefix and suffix are set in the Settings dialog. (The Filter Class Prefix and Suffix fields on the Java EE Names tab of the Editor | Code Style | Java page.)

If you want to specify an existing class, click and select the class in the dialog that opens.

Create Java EE 6 annotated class

If the checkbox is not selected, the filter name - class mapping is added to web.xml.

If there is no web.xml in your project, the checkbox is selected by default, and you cannot deselect it.
