Cannot inject HttpServletRequest in ContainerRequestFilter via @Context jersey2.x and weblogic 12.1.3

Question

I was not able to inject HttpServletRequest in ContainerRequestFilter via @Context in Jersey 2.22.1 using weblogic 12.1.3. I researched several places that this issue exists and

Answer 1

As an alternative to typically preferred injection by @Context, @Inject, or @Autowire, you can inject HttpServletRequest into a request-scoped bean using Spring's static method:

HttpServletRequest request= 
((ServletRequestAttributes) RequestContextHolder.currentRequestAttributes()).getRequest();

Note that this approach is not ideal, because static methods make your code harder to test and make your code more rigid.

Answer 2

It seems this is a bug with Weblogic 12.1.3. I tried upgrading to Weblogic 12.2.1 and injecting HttpServletRequest using @Context works correctly even inside ContainerRequestFilter.
