Interface ContainerRequestFilter
public interface ContainerRequestFilter
By default, i.e. if no name binding
is applied to the filter implementation class,
the filter instance is applied globally, however only after the incoming request has been matched to a particular
resource by JAX-RS runtime. If there is a @NameBinding
annotation applied to the
filter, the filter will also be executed at the post-match request extension point, but only in case the
matched resource or sub-resource method
is bound to the same name-binding annotation.
In case the filter should be applied at the pre-match extension point, i.e. before any request matching has
been performed by JAX-RS runtime, the filter MUST be annotated with a @PreMatching
annotation.
Use a pre-match request filter to update the input to the JAX-RS matching algorithm, e.g., the HTTP method, Accept header, return cached responses etc. Otherwise, the use of a request filter invoked at the post-match request extension point (after a successful resource method matching) is recommended.
Filters implementing this interface must be annotated with @Provider
to be
discovered by the JAX-RS runtime. Container request filter instances may also be discovered and bound
dynamically
to particular resource methods.

Method Details

filter
Filter method called before a request has been dispatched to a resource.Filters in the filter chain are ordered according to their
jakarta.annotation.Priority
class-level annotation value. If a request filter produces a response by callingContainerRequestContext.abortWith(jakarta.ws.rs.core.Response)
method, the execution of the (either pre-match or post-match) request filter chain is stopped and the response is passed to the corresponding response filter chain (either pre-match or post-match). For example, a pre-match caching filter may produce a response in this way, which would effectively skip any post-match request filters as well as post-match response filters. Note however that a responses produced in this manner would still be processed by the pre-match response filter chain.- Parameters:
requestContext
- request context.- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O exception occurs.- See Also:
