Does filter in web.xml gets executed when we forward the request?

When i forward the request from servlet to another, does filters described in web.xml get executed? In fact i am not sure whether web.xm comes in to picture or not in case of request forward? I know it happens in case of redirect as its fresh request from browser but not sure about forward?

By default - no.

You can enable execution of specific filter on forward by adding 

<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>

to its <filter-mapping>.
