It seems as if each time we make a call, the cookie store is shared across calls instead of a new one used for each user/thread. This is causing us problems with our identity service because it thinks that the same user is making a call, when in fact it is another authenticated user.
There is the possibility to configure a non default connection manager. Is your enhancement related to this?
Could your please explain?

In jersey-apache-client4-1.17.1, we are not able to do this as this is in the final class "ApacheHttpClient4Handler" and cannot override the class with our own implementation.
I presume, you want to stick with the Jersey client API, but need to propagate the localContext down the stack, right?
Would you be willing to contribute your implementation to Jersey? Then i think you just need to extend the original class(es), no need to inherit from there.
Could your please clarify?

I am not aware of such a possibility. We would most likely need to update Jersey. It would be brilliant, if you would be willing
to contribute this piece of functionality to Jersey.
If you do not want to contribute (which is also fine), please share some details on your implementation, so that we can agree
on changes needed on the Jersey side, so that you can easily plug in.
Thanks,
~Jakub
P.S. Here is a writing on how to contribute:
