Inject HttpServletRequest in ContainerRequestFilter for Jersey

[sapessi]

• Framework version: 1.2
• Implementations: Jersey

Scenario

Trying to inject an HttpServletRequest object in a container request filter results in an exception:

public class MyJaxRsFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
	
	@Context HttpServletRequest request;

	public void filter(ContainerRequestContext ctx) throws IOException {
    	      System.out.println("Hello JAXRS filter, request = " + request);
	}

}

Expected behavior

HttpServletRequest should be injected corectly

Actual behavior

Throws java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not inside a request scope

@martinpllu the fix for this is now in the core branch. It will go out with 1.3. The root cause of the issue is that Jersey (and the JAX-RS specs) treat suppliers as singletons so by default it does not allow injection in single-request-scoped contexts. I have added the configuration to allow "proxying" of the suppliers.
