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

[Robert Jaros]

You should at least specify what is DW.

[nadi]

sorry

[nadi]

dropwizard.

[nadi]

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

[nadi]

where userProvider is of type Provider<UserInfo>

how are you auth-ing the user? if you're using 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?).

[nadi]

we're using a custom annotation+filter

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/8fb5f319a04128a23edf7bbfa2544f47adbe[…]ain/kotlin/com/joe/quizzy/server/modules/QuizzyServiceModule.kt if it helps at all

[nadi]

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

[Joe]

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
