In case of error, if you want to send a custom response then you need to throw WebApplicationException. Create a Response object and send it back using the following exception constructor:

WebApplicationException(Response response)             Construct a new instance using the supplied response

Try this:

@Override  public ContainerRequest filter(ContainerRequest request) {      User user = Helper.getCurrentUser();      if(user == null){          ResponseBuilder builder = null;          String response = "Custom message";          builder = Response.status(Response.Status.UNAUTHORIZED).entity(response);          throw new WebApplicationException(builder.build());        }      return request;  }
