Yes.

Jersey does not include a server. It does have support for multiple
types of server. You can use any compliant Web container (like GF or
Tomcat) or Grizzly, or the LW HTTP server, or to come soon the Simple
HTTP support. I would recommend using a Web container if you want to
use security features below that of Jersey.
The other solution is to utilize a Jersey filter to perform the
authentication.
The Atom server sample [1] contains an example of this approach in
addition to using roles.
