Java jersey 2.6: ContainerRequestFilter: Not Inside a request scope

Question

I have a service rest on my tomcat and it correctly works but when I deploy it on another tomcat server, it throws an exception.

I'm trying to implement a ContainerRequestFilter. And this exception seems caused by the @Context resourceInfo in my authenticationFilter (the class that implements ContainerRequestFilter). But I don't understand why and how to fix it. (I followed this tutorial)

A MultiException has 3 exceptions.  They are:
1. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not inside a request scope.
2. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While attempting to resolve the dependencies of services.AuthentificationFilter errors were found
3. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: resolve on services.AuthentificationFilter

The code of my authenticationFilter

@Provider
public class AuthentificationFilter implements javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestFilter {

@Context
private ResourceInfo resourceInfo;

private static final String AUTHORIZATION = "Authorization";
private static final String BASIC = "Basic";
private static final Response ACCESS_DENIED = Response.status(Response.Status.UNAUTHORIZED).entity("Essayez de mettre sudo devant votre requete").build();
private static final Response ACCESS_FORBIDDEN = Response.status(Response.Status.FORBIDDEN).entity("You shall not pass !").build();

@Override
public void filter(final ContainerRequestContext context) throws IOException {
    Method method = resourceInfo.getResourceMethod();
    if(!method.isAnnotationPresent(PermitAll.class)) {
        MultivaluedMap<String, String> headers = context.getHeaders();
        List<String> authorization = headers.get(AUTHORIZATION);

        if(method.isAnnotationPresent(DenyAll.class)) {
            context.abortWith(ACCESS_FORBIDDEN);
            return;
        }else if(authorization == null || authorization.isEmpty()) {
            context.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
            return;
        }

        String encodedUserPassword = authorization.get(0).replaceFirst(BASIC + " ", "");
        String auth = new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode(encodedUserPassword.getBytes()));;

        String[] authTab = auth.split(":");
        String username = authTab[0];
        String password = authTab[1];

        if(method.isAnnotationPresent(RolesAllowed.class)) {
            RolesAllowed rolesAnnotation = method.getAnnotation(RolesAllowed.class);
            Set<String> rolesSet = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(rolesAnnotation.value()));
            if(!isAllowed(username, password, rolesSet)) {
                context.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}

private boolean isAllowed(final String username, final String password, final Set<String> rolesSet)
{
    boolean isAllowed = false;
    User user;
    if((user = new UserMapper().get(username, password)) != null) {
        String role = user.getStatus().toString();
        if(rolesSet.contains(role))
            isAllowed = true;
    }
    return isAllowed;
}

}

The code of MyApplication.java that registers the filter:

public class MyApplication extends ResourceConfig {

public MyApplication() {
    packages("services");
    register(AuthentificationFilter.class);
}
}

What am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

I finally found the solution. I had to create a class that implements DynamicFeature and register my AuthenticationFilter thanks to a custom constructor.

@Provider
public class AuthenticationDynamicFeature implements DynamicFeature {

    @Override
    public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext featureContext) {
        featureContext.register(new AuthenticationFilter(resourceInfo));
    }
}

And here the custom constructor :

public AuthenticationFilter(ResourceInfo resourceInfo) {
    super();
    this.resourceInfo = resourceInfo;
}

I tried a lot of other ways, and this one, it's the only one that worked for me.
