Answer 1

Instead of using the @Provider annotation (which did not work in my case), you can register your ContainerRequestFilter manually with your JerseyServletFactory:

JerseyServletFactory jerseyServletFactory = new JerseyServletFactory(config);
HttpServlet myServiceServlet = jerseyServletFactory.create(myResource);

// Register your ContainerRequestFilter like this
jerseyServletFactory.addRequestFilter(new MyFilter());

httpServer.register(myServiceServlet, "/api");
httpServer.start();
