Resteasy 3 #Context HttpServletRequest always null - jboss

Question

We were using Resteasy 2 but we are upgrading to Resteasy 3 and the HttpServletRequest injection is always null.
Our modified security interceptor/filter that looks like:
#Provider
#ServerInterceptor
#Precedence("SECURITY")
public class SecurityInterceptor implements ContainerRequestFilter, ContainerResponseFilter {
#Context
private HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
#Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
// Need access to "servletRequest" but it is always null
if (!isTokenValid(pmContext, method)) {
requestContext.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
}
}
#Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext, ContainerResponseContext responseContext) throws IOException {
// post processing
}
}
And the application class looks like:
#ApplicationPath("/")
public class RestApplication extends Application {
private Set<Object> singletons = new HashSet<Object>();
private Set<Class<?>> empty = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
public RestApplication() {
// Interceptors
this.singletons.add(new SecurityInterceptor());
// Services
this.singletons.add(new MyService());
}
public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
return this.empty;
}
public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
return this.singletons;
}
}
Sample API:
#Path("/test")
public class MyService extends BaseService {
#Context HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
#GET
#Path("/hello")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response hello() {
// Need access to HttpServletRequest but it's null
return Response.ok("hello").build();
}
}
However, looking at this and this posts, I don't see HttpServletRequest injection provider.
This leads me to believe that I may need an additional plugin. This is what is installed:
jose-jwt
resteasy-atom-provider
resteasy-cdi
resteasy-crypto
resteasy-jackson2-provider
resteasy-jackson-provider
resteasy-jaxb-provider
resteasy-jaxrs
resteasy-jettison-provider
resteasy-jsapi
resteasy-json-p-provider
resteasy-multipart-provider
resteasy-spring
resteasy-validator-provider-11
resteasy-yaml-provider
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Based on #peeskillet suggestion, modifying to return new class instances instead of singletons resolved my issue.
Thus my modified javax.ws.rs.core.Application file looks like:
#ApplicationPath("/")
public class RestApplication extends Application {
private Set<Object> singletons = new HashSet<Object>();
private Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
public RestApplication() {
// Interceptors
this.classes.add(SecurityInterceptor.class);
// Services
this.classes.add(MyService.class);
}
public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
return this.classes;
}
public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
return this.singletons;
}
}

You could use the SecurityInterceptor's constructor to get these values:
///...
private HttpServletRequest request;
private ServletContext context;
public SecurityInterceptor(#Context HttpServletRequest request, #Context ServletContext context) {
this.request = request;
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
// The "servletRequest" won't be null anymore
if (!isTokenValid(pmContext, method)) {
requestContext.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
}
}
///...
This'll solve your problem
