I figured out how to solve my problem using only Jersey. There's apparently no way to match a request's URI to the method that will be matched before that method is invoked, at least in Jersey 1.x. However, I was able to use a ResourceFilterFactory
to create a ResourceFilter
for each individual resource method - that way these filters can know about the destination method ahead of time.
Here's my solution, including the validation for required query params (uses Guava and JSR 305):
public final class ValidationFilterFactory implements ResourceFilterFactory {
@Override
public List<ResourceFilter> create(AbstractMethod abstractMethod) {
//keep track of required query param names
final ImmutableSet.Builder<String> requiredQueryParamsBuilder =
ImmutableSet.builder();
//get the list of params from the resource method
final ImmutableList<Parameter> params =
Invokable.from(abstractMethod.getMethod()).getParameters();
for (Parameter param : params) {
//if the param isn't marked as @Nullable,
if (!param.isAnnotationPresent(Nullable.class)) {
//try getting the @QueryParam value
@Nullable final QueryParam queryParam =
param.getAnnotation(QueryParam.class);
//if it's present, add its value to the set
if (queryParam != null) {
requiredQueryParamsBuilder.add(queryParam.value());
}
}
}
//return the new validation filter for this resource method
return Collections.<ResourceFilter>singletonList(
new ValidationFilter(requiredQueryParamsBuilder.build())
);
}
private static final class ValidationFilter implements ResourceFilter {
final ImmutableSet<String> requiredQueryParams;
private ValidationFilter(ImmutableSet<String> requiredQueryParams) {
this.requiredQueryParams = requiredQueryParams;
}
@Override
public ContainerRequestFilter getRequestFilter() {
return new ContainerRequestFilter() {
@Override
public ContainerRequest filter(ContainerRequest request) {
final Collection<String> missingRequiredParams =
Sets.difference(
requiredQueryParams,
request.getQueryParameters().keySet()
);
if (!missingRequiredParams.isEmpty()) {
final String message =
"Required query params missing: " +
Joiner.on(", ").join(missingRequiredParams);
final Response response = Response
.status(Status.BAD_REQUEST)
.entity(message)
.build();
throw new WebApplicationException(response);
}
return request;
}
};
}
@Override
public ContainerResponseFilter getResponseFilter() {
return null;
}
}
}
And the ResourceFilterFactory
is registered with Jersey as an init param of the servlet in web.xml
:
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ResourceFilters</param-name>
<param-value>my.package.name.ValidationFilterFactory</param-value>
</init-param>
At startup, ValidationFilterFactory.create
gets called for each resource method detected by Jersey.
