I'm building a small Java EE 8 application that should run on OpenLiberty.
It has a JAX-RS ContainerResponseFilter that looks like this:
package my.package;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestContext;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerResponseContext;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerResponseFilter;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;
@Provider
public class MyFilter implements ContainerResponseFilter {
private final MyService myService;
@Inject
public DiagnosticsFilter(final MyService myService) {
this.myService = myService;
}
@Override
public void filter(final ContainerRequestContext request, final ContainerResponseContext response) {
// Never mind this
}
}
If I write the filter like this and start my app, the myService argument to the constructor is null.
However, if field is annoted with @Inject and the constructor is omitted, the field is being injected correctly.
The MyService class is annotated with @Stateless, and in beans.xml I have set bean-discovery-mode="all".
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is this actually supposed to work? The Weld documentation suggests that it should, but I'm not sure it's in the CDI spec as well...
