How can you transfer data from a filter to an endpoint in Jersey

Question

Can you transfer some data from javax.servlet.Filter to the Jersey endpoint without using ThreadLocal or HttpSession?

And since the first question will be “why do you want to do this?”: Mostly curious. In practice, I think I can use this to transfer some data created during authentication to the endpoint. Not using ThreadLocal eliminates the temptation to use this in a chain (I hope there is no need to explain why this is evil), and not using HttpSession is rather a fad :)

Try @Context . I'm not sure which object you will receive (somewhere I saw a WebServiceContext , which is jax-ws), but it should contain an HttpServletRequest . so you can set the request attributes to the filter and read them in the recreation service
