JPetShop and Azure Application Insight - eclipse

Question

I would like to to test the Application Insight tool of Microsoft Azure.
For this reason, I took a Spring application, jpetshop (https://github.com/mybatis/jpetstore-6), and I am trying to set up the Application Insight on top of it following this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-java-get-started
I added the Maven dependency and repository and, thanks to Eclipse, I created the ApplicationInsights.xml file with my InstrumentationKey. The only thing that I am not sure about is how to add is the HTTP filter on this application.
I modified the web.xml in this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<display-name>JPetStore</display-name>
<description>Online Pet Store Sample Application</description>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>StripesResources</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<filter>
<display-name>Stripes Filter</display-name>
<filter-name>StripesFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>net.sourceforge.stripes.controller.StripesFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>

</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>ApplicationInsightsRequestNameInterceptor</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.struts.RequestNameInterceptor</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>StripesFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>StripesDispatcher</servlet-name>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>StripesDispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>net.sourceforge.stripes.controller.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>StripesDispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
However, if I change the filter-mapper field as shown in the guide, the application doesn't work anymore.
Since the jpetshop application uses the Spring framework I also though to modify the *-servlet.xml file. However, this file is not present in this project.
Do you know how can I make the Azure Application Insight work on this application?
Thank you

I think you missed the section where you need to define ApplicationInsights's filter:
<filter>
<filter-name>ApplicationInsightsWebFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>
com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.internal.WebRequestTrackingFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ApplicationInsightsWebFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
