Provide ContainerRequestContext to decorateResponse

[hypnoce]

There are scenarios where information held in the ContainerRequestContext need to be accessed in the decorateResponse method (properties, uriInfo...). Do you see any value into adding the ContainerRequestContext in the decorateResponse response arguments ? Thanks

[pavolloffay]

Can you please describe your use-case/ what information is needed to be accessed from ContainerRequestContext?

[hypnoce]

I'm trying to get the path parameters through the URI info as well as some properties that were set using requestContext.setProperty(). I could create another filter and make sure it's priority comes just after the ServerTracingFilter priority. But using the span decorator is a more robust method.

Why decorateRequest does not work

void decorateRequest(ContainerRequestContext requestContext, Span span);

it is passing in the ContainerRequestContext

There are some information injected in the request via setProperty that I need to access after the query is processed. Also I need to know the status code as well as the uriinfo at the same time.

Hey @pavolloffay any news on this ? Thanks.

[pavolloffay]

This is pity because we have just released 1.0 and this is breaking change.

We will have to overload the response method and deprecate the old one.

[hypnoce]

Indeed. If we could use default method in interface, we could have made the transition smoother without breaking the API. Is it intended to be java 1.6 ? Thanks

[pavolloffay]

It's already released. We build this against java 1.7.

[hypnoce]

A sorry yes I meant java8.

[pavolloffay]

That should be fine, it's backward compatible.
