import java.security.PrivilegedAction;

import javax.ws.rs.core.SecurityContext;

Security context that allows establishing a subject before a resource method or a sub-resource locator is called. Container or filters should set an implementation of this interface to the request context using ContainerRequest.setSecurityContext(SecurityContext). When Jersey detects this kind of context is in the request scope, it will use doAsSubject(PrivilegedAction) method to dispatch the request to a resource method (or to call a sub-resource locator).

public interface SubjectSecurityContext extends SecurityContext {
Jersey wraps calls to resource methods and sub-resource locators in PrivilegedAction instance and passes it to this method when dispatching a request. Implementations should do the needful to establish a Subject and invoke the PrivilegedAction passed as the parameter using Subject.doAs(Subject, PrivilegedAction<Object>).

The privileged action passed into the method may, when invoked, fail with either WebApplicationException or ProcessingException. Both these exceptions must be propagated to the caller without a modification.

Params:
  • action – PrivilegedAction that represents a resource or sub-resource locator method invocation to be executed by this method after establishing a subject.
Throws:
  • NullPointerException – if the PrivilegedAction is null.
  • SecurityException – if the caller does not have permission to invoke the Subject#doAs(Subject, PrivilegedAction) method.
  • WebApplicationException – propagated exception from the privileged action. May be thrown in case the invocation of resource or sub-resource locator method in the privileged action results in this exception.
  • ProcessingException – propagated exception from the privileged action. May be thrown in case the invocation of resource or sub-resource locator method in the privileged action has failed or resulted in a non-checked exception.
Returns:result of the action.
