Package com.ibm.websphere.security.jwt

Class JwtHeaderInjecter

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.websphere.security.jwt.JwtHeaderInjecter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestFilter

public class JwtHeaderInjecter
extends Object
implements javax.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestFilter

These jax-rs client request filter APIs retrieve the JWT token from the subject on the thread or self issue a JWT token and then adds the token to the jax-rs client request header to propagate the JWT token.

The code snippet that is shown here demonstrate how to use these APIs to propagate the token.

Sample code to propagate the JWT Token

        // 1. Create a jax-rs client
         javax.ws.rs.client.Client client = javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newClient();

        // 2. Register the jwt client request filter api using one of the three ways shown here
         client.register(new JwtHeaderInjecter()); or
         client.register(new JwtHeaderInjecter("customHeader")); or
         client.register(new JwtHeaderInjecter("customHeader","jwtBuilder"));

        // 3. Make REST request - The jwt token from the subject on the thread will be added to the default header "Authorization" or to the custom header
         String response = client.target(requesturl).request("text/plain").get(String.class)
