In previous example we have seen java jersey rest api example . If you are new with jersey , then i recommended to you read jersey framework tutorial . In this example we will put filter on our rest api. This example have one resource and one filter class . Request filter is executed before the resource method is run and before the response is created. The filter has possibility to manipulate the request parameters including request headers or entity.
Jersey Filter Exmaple
UserHandler.java – this class have handler method for our api .
package com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.demo;
import javax.ws.rs.HeaderParam;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status;
@Path("/user")
public class UserHander {
@POST
public Response addUser(@HeaderParam("token") String token) {
System.out.println("token=" + token);
return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(token).build();
}
}RequestFilter.java – In this class we will write filter and get token from header.
package com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.filter;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestContext;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestFilter;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;
@Provider
public class RequestFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter{
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
System.out.println("Filter token="+requestContext.getHeaderString("token"));
}
}web.xml – configure application parameter .

</project>Project Structure :
use rest console with
Url:
http://localhost:8080/JerseyDemo/rest/user
Method :
Post
And header param
token = java
In this example we will send header parameter token in request . Header parameter will get from request in filter , Here we have print it. If you want to implement basic authentication , then this example is for you. You will send you auth token in header param and get it from request in filter and valid it . This example is part of jersey tutorial in java .
