How to transfer data from a ContainerRequestFilter to a resource in a Jersey structure

Question

I tried using ContainerRequestFilter for my webservice application to authenticate the input request. Once the request is authenticated, I need to pass an object to reprocess all the information. can someone please let me know how we can achieve this?

Thank you for your help.

In your filter, you need to execute a servlet request:

@Context private transient HttpServletRequest servletRequest; 

And save your data as an attribute:

 this.servletRequest.setAttribute("My data", myObject); 

And then in the resource you can pull out servletRequest and use:

 Object myObject = this.servletRequest.getAttribute("My data");
