Class ResourceServerFilter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Filter

    public class ResourceServerFilter
    extends Object
    implements Filter
    Validates a Request that contains an OAuth 2.0 access token.

    This filter expects an OAuth 2.0 token to be available in the HTTP Authorization header:

    Authorization: Bearer 1fc0e143-f248-4e50-9c13-1d710360cec9

    It extracts the token and validate it against the AccessTokenResolver using the provided ResourceAccess.

    The provided ResourceAccess must provide the scopes required by the AccessTokenInfo to access the protected resource.

    Once the AccessTokenInfo is validated, it is stored in an OAuth2Context instance which is forwarded with the Request to the next Handler. The AccessTokenInfo could be retrieved in downstream handlers with OAuth2Context.getAccessToken().

    The realm constructor attribute specifies the name of the realm used in the authentication challenges returned back to the client in case of errors.

    If a RequestAuditContext is present, the token's audit tracking ID is added its tracking id list.

        public Promise<Response,​NeverThrowsException> filter​(Context context,
                                                                   Request request,
                                                                   Handler next)
        Description copied from interface: Filter
        Filters the request and/or response of an exchange. To pass the request to the next filter or handler in the chain, the filter calls next.handle(context, request).

        This method may elect not to pass the request to the next filter or handler, and instead handle the request itself. It can achieve this by merely avoiding a call to next.handle(context, request) and creating its own response object. The filter is also at liberty to replace a response with another of its own by intercepting the response returned by the next handler.

        Specified by:
        filter in interface Filter
        Parameters:
        context - The request context.
        request - The request.
        next - The next filter or handler in the chain to handle the request.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing the response to be returned to the client.
