In a regular Web Application, I can assign a chain of Filters to
various paths for aspects such as Authentication, Authorization,
Errors, Logging and more.
The advantage is that I write servlets to focus on core functionality
without worrying about infrastructure aspects. I can write orthogonal,
cross-cutting Filters to authenticate, authorize, etc. Then I can weave
them in web.xml. Looking at web.xml is enough to assure me that there
are no holes in my application.
Is this possible in JAX-RS or Jersey? If not, what is my best bet?
