Apache Shiro Jersey Extension

Extension for Apache Shiro to work with [Sun Jersey] (http://jersey.java.net "Sun Jersey"). This extension enables Shiro annotations in the JAX-RS implementation [Sun Jersey] (http://jersey.java.net "Sun Jersey").

If the user is not authenticated Http Status Code 401 is returned. If the user has insufficient privileges Status Code 403 is returned. This extension provides security using Apache Shiro similar to the standard JAX-WS-RS security for Jersey.

The following Shiro Annotations are supported:

• RequiresPermissions
• RequiresRoles (combined with AND only)

Examples

Checking Permissions with @RequiresPermissions

@Path("/changelog") 
@RequiresPermissions("repository:read") 
public class ChangelogResourceImpl { 

   @POST 
   @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) 
   @Path("/addObject") 
   @RequiresPermissions("repository:write") 
   public Response addObject(ObjectJson objectJson) { 
      someService.addObject(object); 
      return Response.ok().build(); 
   }

} 

Checking Roles with @RequiresRoles

@Path("/changelog") 
@RequiresRoles("Admin") 
public class ChangelogResourceImpl { 

   @POST 
   @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) 
   @Path("/addObject") 
   @RequiresRoles("Chief") 
   public Response addObject(ObjectJson objectJson) { 
      someService.addObject(object); 
      return Response.ok().build(); 
   }

}

Resources

Hello Resource

The hello resource takes one parameter and displays a plain text message with the given parameter.

http://localhost:9080/api/hello/buddy

The admin resource can only be accessed by users with role admin.

http://localhost:9080/api/admin

Running the Sample Project

You can run the sample project either using maven with the command:

maven jetty:run

You can also use the Eclipse Web Tooling to run the sample project from Eclipse.

Getting Started

Using the Jersey Extension for Shiro is pretty easy. Just add an init parameter to the configuration of your Jersey servlet as shown below.

<servlet>
	<servlet-name>jersey-servlet</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
	<init-param>
		<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
		<param-value>org.apache.shiro.jersey.sample</param-value>
	</init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ResourceFilters</param-name>
        <param-value>org.apache.shiro.jersey.ShiroResourceFilterFactory</param-value>
    </init-param>
	<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
