java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While attempting to resolve the dependencies of com.app.webapp.filters.WebApiAuthFilter errors were found

MultiException stack 4 of 4

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: resolve on com.app.webapp.filters.WebApiAuthFilter

i have searched for possible fix, but couldn't able to find anything relates to my problem, i dint use JDO or JPA so the asm jar incompatibility is not the cause.

Any idea on how to resolve this issue ?

Update :

I tried to figure out the cause for this exception, I have an Filter in which i have injected HttpServletRequest , exception is thrown because of that, not sure why though.

@Provider
@WebApiAuth
public class AuthFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

 // problem is because of injecting this 
  @Context
  protected HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
}

Answer 1

This is probably too late for you, but in the interest of helping others -- I was facing the same problem trying to get access to request.getRemoteAddr(). Injecting HttpServletRequest threw this error at runtime, and none of the environment variables, request properties, or headers contained the remote address.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/23590606/3037408

Provides a working solution that adds a 'remote_addr' header into the jersey/jaxrs headers. If you needed to access something other than the remote_addr from the HttpServletRequest, you could probably insert the relevant data into the headers or some other property for later access as well.
