Possiblitity to pre-/post-process outgoing and incoming http request and response

[diroza]

Hello Holger! We are enthusiastic users of your jax-rs-connector and we love it ;-)

Now we are at a point where we need to post-process the outgoing http REST call, e.g. to include a session-id as http header. We also need to pre-process an incoming REST call, e.g. to check for specific HTTP error codes etc.

I am not sure whether an adaption of your jax-rs-connector is needed or we can do this via Jersey Runtime. What we need is a kind of hook mechanism wherer we can interfere the sending/receiving of REST calls.

Thanks for your help. Dirk

Hello Dirk,

this can be done via ContainerResponseFilterand ContainerRequestFilter you just have to make sure it has the proper @Provider annotation and it is registered to the OSGi Service Registry.

Jersey-Filter: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/filters-and-interceptors.html

Hope that helped. Lars
