title: Equivalent of Servlet Filter for Jersey / JAX-RS / REST resources?
body: <p>In a regular Web Application, I can assign a chain of Filters to various paths for aspects such as Authentication, Authorization, Errors, Logging and more.</p>
  
  <p>The advantage is that I write servlets to focus on core functionality without worrying about infrastructure aspects.  I can write orthogonal, cross-cutting Filters to authenticate, authorize, etc.  Then I can weave them in web.xml.  Looking at web.xml is enough to assure me that there are no holes in my application.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible in JAX-RS or Jersey?  If not, what is my best bet?</p>
