In the above you are setting header values on Jersey's request object.

In the above you are setting header values on the Servlet request
object. Jersey does not sync between the Servlet request and it's own
request.
I recommend you utilize either servlet request attributes or Jersey
request attributes rather than add request headers.
Your filter can add Jersey request properties using
ContanerRequest.getProperties().
Your resource class can inject HttpContext and obtain the same
properties using HttpContext.getProperties.
