I am working with embedded Jetty and I want to add a servlet filter to check for authentication before each request. I tried following this example but it looks like the signature has changed.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-server</artifactId>
<version>9.0.4.v20130625</version>
</dependency>
My Jetty starter looks like this:
public class JettyStarter {
public static void main( final String[] args ) throws Exception {
Server server = new Server(8080);
final ServletHolder servletHolder = new ServletHolder(new CXFServlet());
final ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler();
context.setContextPath("/");
// context.addFilter(AuthenticationFilter.class, "/*", FilterMapping.REQUEST);
context.addServlet(servletHolder, "/platform/*");
context.addEventListener(new ContextLoaderListener());
context.setInitParameter("contextClass", AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext.class.getName());
context.setInitParameter("contextConfigLocation", Config.class.getName());
server.setHandler(context);
server.start();
server.join();
}
}
When I uncomment the line
// context.addFilter(AuthenticationFilter.class, "/*", FilterMapping.REQUEST);
I find that the signature has changed. So I want to take a small step back and ask, with embedded Jetty, how do I add a filter that runs at the beginning of the request and allows the request to continue only if some condition is met?
The beginning of the AuthenticationFilter class looks like this:
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.IOException;
public class AuthenticationFilter implements Filter {
@Override
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {}
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest,
ServletResponse servletResponse,
FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {}
@Override
public void destroy() {}
}
