@Context injection in Stateless EJB used by JAX-RS

Question

I have something like this setup below. This is a simplified version but I think it gets the basic idea across. I am using Jersey 2.16, Java 1.8, and Glassfish Open Source 4

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using the SecurityContext in the wrong place. You have to use it inside your REST resource class.

You can try the following:

@POST
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
@Override
public String addNewReport(final Report report, @Context SecurityContext sc) {
   report.setUserName(sC.getUserPrincipal().getName());
   return service.addNewReport(report);
}

For more details have a look at the Jersey Documentation - Chapter 16. Security.

Inside of EJBs you have to use the EJBContext (or the SessionContext).
