No, sorry, I was confusing. I'm using ResourceConfig to specify what folders to scan for Jersey annotations. I stick an @Provider on my ContainerRequestFilter and specify it's package in the ResourceConfig, then Jersey loads it up automagically. I could (should?) have left off 2. My real issue is specifying the ordering if there are multiple instances of ContainerRequestFilter.

Hi Eric,
Something doesn't make sense here. ResourceConfig is initialized once across the lifetime of your application. This occurs before any HTTP request so you don't have access to HTTP headers.
If you're trying to pass initialization parameters to the server at startup, take a look at this issue:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/19596592/14731
Some solutions have been proposed on the list (most notably using JNDI or other singletons) but don't consider them a clean solution. I'm still looking for a way to read servlet init parameters from ResourceConfig.

> What do you mean by "attribute"? Are you trying to set a value to be returned by ServletRequest.getAttribute()? If so, you cannot pass such values directly from client to server. These attributes must be set on the server side (perhaps using a request filter). One approach would be to pass HTTP headers from the client to server, intercept them in the request filter and pass them into the ServletRequest.setAttribute().
