Currently there is no way to pass information from a filter to a
resource. It would be cool if there was a method on
ContainerRequestContext (or something) that could register a value that
could be injected via @Context. For example:
containerRequestContext.pushContext(IDToken.class, token);
@Path
public class Resource {
@Context IDToken token;
}
I wish I had suggested this in JAX-RS 2.0 :( as I use this pattern with
a proprietary API all the time. I can't believe I forgot to suggest it!
Also, it might be interesting to allow injection of the
ContainerRequestContext instance into resource classes as well:
@Path
public class Resource {
@Context ContainerRequestContext context;
}
Not sure about this one. The reasoning would be to add/extract property
metadata from the context. Haven't had a need for this one yet.
