We work with DW+guice(in kotin) - im creating an authentication filter and i was wondering if there's a way to inject the user info directly to the controller methods? or i have to use this approach as put here:
<https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/ServletModule#using-requestscope>

TLDR - i want to inject authenticated user directly to the controller method without doing something like userProvider.get inside the method body

where userProvider is of type Provider&lt;UserInfo&gt;

how are you auth-ing the user?  if you're using <https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/manual/auth.html|dropwizard-auth> you should just be able to add an `@Auth` annotated parameter to the resource method(s) and jersey/hk2 will inject the auth'ed principal; guice wouldn't be involved at all (unless maybe you're using one of the guice DI bridges?).

example resource: <https://github.com/josephlbarnett/quizzy/blob/main/graphql/src/main/kotlin/com/joe/quizzy/graphql/groupme/GroupMeResource.kt#L18> with configured AuthFilter: <https://github.com/josephlbarnett/quizzy/blob/8fb5f319a04128a23edf7bbfa2544f47adbe3040/server/src/main/kotlin/com/joe/quizzy/server/modules/QuizzyServiceModule.kt#L77|https://github.com/josephlbarnett/quizzy/blob/8fb5f319a04128a23edf7bbfa2544f47adbe[…]ain/kotlin/com/joe/quizzy/server/modules/QuizzyServiceModule.kt> if it helps at all

we're not using dropwizard auth. just implmenting our own ContainerRequestFilter

yeah if its your own custom logic harder to help, but maybe looking at how the dw-auth source code implements `@Auth` annotated injection would be helpful
