Are filters invoked when I do a RequestDispatcher.forward() ?

Before Servlet 2.4 specification, it was not clear whether filters should be invoked for forwarded requests, included requests and requests to the error page defined in

But in Servlet 2.4 specs, there is an extra element inside the filter mapping tag.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>DispatcherFilter</FILTER-NAME>
<url-pattern>/products/*</URL-PATTERN>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

Possible values are REQUEST, FORWARD, INCLUDE, and ERROR (Request is the default)
