I'm trying to track down why my @Provider filter() method isn't being
invoked. I've got a bare bones REST web service with basic auth security
that works. I've noticed that if I give the wrong package name in the
<param-value> for ContainerRequestFilters that my security still works. I
then commented out the entire <init-param> element
with ContainerRequestFilters and redeployed (cleaned out all old
directories and archives too).
My security still works! What gives?
In this simple case my @Provider is in the same package as my RESTful web
service class. Maybe this has something to do with it.
I'm running on Tomcat 6 with jersey-server-2.5.1.
