Jersey ContainerRequestFilter not triggered

Question

I\'m trying to use a ContainerRequestFilter to enforce some authentication on a Tomcat based Jersey application. I followed this document. Problem : the filter

Answer 1

We were missing the below call in our ResourceConfig implementation class:

register(CorrelationIdFilter.class);

Answer 2

I had the same problem for JAX-RS 2 , jersey and the below annotation fixed it

 @PreMatching

Answer 3

I also had to add the @Provider JAX-RS annotation to my filters.
This makes the filter discoverable during JAX-RS scanning phase.

@Provider
public class MyAppFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
    // filter logic
}

Answer 4

For anybody having this problem in MULE ESB. Remember to register path with:

<jersey:resources doc:name="REST">
   <component doc:name="rest component">
     <spring-object bean="endpoit"/>
   </component>
   <jersey:package packageName="path @Provider-s"/>
</jersey:resources >
