JWT based auth in jax-rs JEE8 vs JEE7 vs JEE6

JWT secured jaxrs implemented with an container request filter

my primary interest in implementing this, was to investigate the fundamental handling with JWT. furthermore i wanted to examine options to embedd docker into my daily work.

Demo

the demo contains a jaxrs backend, bundled into a docker container. The backend has s hello Resoruce and container request filter, which authenticates and authorizes a user,when the provided password is 42. The integration test therefore tests the following communication sequence.

1. GET: to an unsecured resource app/hello?message=dude
2. POST: Login via form post app/login
3. Extracting the bearer token
4. GET: requesting a secured resource app/hello/secured?message=dude with auth token
