All About Programming: Intercept JAX-RS Request with Jersey ContainerRequestFilter

ContainerRequestFilter

ContainerRequestFilter this is an interface and should be implemented by the container request filters.

We should annotate the filter class that implements this interface with @Provider so that the JAX-RS runtime will discover this filter. As always, this annotation is sufficient and there is no other configuration required in web.xml
@NameBinding annotation can be applied to match the request for filter execution.
By default filter is executed post-match and if we want the execution to be done before match we should use the @PreMatching annotation.
