AEM 6.3 OSGi HTTP Whiteboard Filter not registering

Question

I am trying to get a filter to fire before the authentication service fires, it looks like the HTTP whiteboard is the way to go.

I've been following instructions here https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kt/platform-repository/using/osgi-http-whiteboard-code-sample-develop.html and here https://github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-samples/blob/master/bundle/src/main/java/com/adobe/acs/samples/filters/impl/SampleServletFilter.java.

i see the init and activate methods firing when I install my code but the doFilter method never fires. If I go to http://localhost:4502/system/console/httpwhiteboard I see theres nothing under registered filter service (not sure if this is expected or not)

My annotations on the class look like this:

@Component

@Properties({

@Property(name = HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_FILTER_REGEX,

value = { "/*"}),

@Property( name = HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_SELECT,

value = ("(" + HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_NAME + "=org.osgi.service.http)"

)

})

@Service

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Our eng member noticed that you were not following the example as is.

@Component

@Properties({

// A major difference from Sling Filters is Servlet Filters can be registered via the Felix HTTP Whiteboard to URL path patterns.

// A Pattern OR Regex must be provided.

// http://javadox.com/org.osgi/osgi.cmpn/6.0.0/org/osgi/service/http/whiteboard/HttpWhiteboardConstants.html#HTTP_WHITEBOARD_FILTER_PATTERN

@Property(name = HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_FILTER_PATTERN,

value = { "/content/samples/" }),

// http://javadox.com/org.osgi/osgi.cmpn/6.0.0/org/osgi/service/http/whiteboard/HttpWhiteboardConstants.html#HTTP_WHITEBOARD_FILTER_REGEX

@Property(name = HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_FILTER_REGEX,

value = { "/[a-z]*" }),

// http://javadox.com/org.osgi/osgi.cmpn/6.0.0/org/osgi/service/http/whiteboard/HttpWhiteboardConstants.html#HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_SELECT

@Property(name = HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_SELECT,

value = "(" + HttpWhiteboardConstants.HTTP_WHITEBOARD_CONTEXT_NAME + "=*)")

})

@Service

Can you try to use this exact sample and see if its working for you.

Thanks! This appears to work.I was confused in the git file where it said " // A Pattern OR Regex must be provided."so I thought we had to use one or the other
