Jersey Request Filter only on certain URI

Question

I am trying to do some validation on requests coming into my service using the ContainerRequestFilter. Everything is working fine, however there is one problem

Answer 1

@PreMatching does not work together with @NameBinding, because the resource class/method is not yet known in pre-matching phase. I solved this issue by removing @PreMatching from the filter and using binding priority. See ResourceConfig.register(Object component, int bindingPriority).

Filters to be executed before the resource simply get a higher priority.
