custom annotation based interceptor filter jersey

Question

I am using using jersey as my rest client. I want to write a custom annotation which will intercept the request so that i can validate the user and throw error accordingly. So i can annotate only those functions which i want to validate. there two problems around it.

1. as far as i have seen the annotations they all inject property before the actual call. how can i control while this function has been called. I need to access the @Context HttpServletRequest request part to get the userId and make a DB call to validate..

2. Classes which are going to be annotated my annotation parser need to know before hand. how can i make this independent of that. like spring annotations.

   @MYCustomFIlter
   @GET
   @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
   @Path("/{programId}/processCount")
   public Response getProgramInitializedCount(@PathParam("programId") String programId,
        @Context HttpServletRequest request)  {
    //this line will be moved to annotation filter.
    String userId = WfManagerUtil.getCurrentUser(request);
   

Any ideas around this how can this be achieved.

FIRST EDIT : with some research i found out how to do it. But this is not happening. Can somebody help me in finding out why.

Annotation :

@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ValidateUser {

}

filter :

 public class ValidateUserFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {


     @Override
     public ContainerRequest filter(ContainerRequest request) throws WebApplicationException{

         String user = request.getHeaderValue(USER_HEADER);
         //rest of code.

     }
 }

Binding :

@Provider
public class ResourceFilterBindingFeature implements DynamicFeature {

  @Override
  public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext context) {
    if (resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().isAnnotationPresent(ValidateUser.class)) {
      context.register(CommonResourceFilter.class);
    }

  }
}

and using it as :

@Path("/v1.0/programs")
public class ProgramsResource {


     @ValidateUser
     @GET
     @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
     @Path("/{programId}/initialization/progress/")
     public Response getProgramInitializedCount(@PathParam("programId") String programId,
             @Context HttpServletRequest request) throws WorkflowManagerException {
         //code
     }

}

POM :

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>

    <!-- <scope>provided</scope> -->

    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
    <version>1.8</version>
    <!-- <scope>provided</scope> -->

Where possibly i am doing wrong. the filter class is not being invoked.
