I've created some JAX-RS 2.0 resources (using Jeresey 2.4 running in a Servlet container) and a filter that handles authentication and authorisation that can be selectively applied via a @NameBinding annotation. This all works great.
I would like to be able to define some parameters on this annotation (specifically, security permissions that are required to access each method/resource) that can be available to the filter at runtime to alter this behaviour.
I notice that interceptors can do this via javax.ws.rs.ext.InterceptorContext.getAnnotations() but there is no equivalent in javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestContext for filters. Any ideas how this may be achieved? I would like to be able to do something like the following:
@Target({TYPE, METHOD})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@NameBinding
public @interface Secured {
String[] requiredPermissions() default {};
}
@Secured
@Priority(Priorities.AUTHENTICATION)
public class SecurityRequestFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
@Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext containerRequestContext) throws IOException {
// extract credentials, verify them and check that the user has required permissions, aborting if not
}
}
@Path("/userConfiguration/")
public class UserConfigurationResource {
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
@Secured(requiredPermissions = {"configuration-permission"})
public Response getConfig(@Context HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {
// produce a response
}
}
