authentication - Simple custom authenticator in JAX-RS -

in jax-rs (or jersey) rest service, i'm trying make custom authentication users in database. have @get annotated method should interact user asking credentials done in spring framework authentication provider - no custom login form, plain http login browser popup form.

currently can handle http basic access authentication provided in header, need ask credentials before accessing content interactively , make token-based authentication on base.

i have keep application light-weight don't know how can "easy" task done..

edit: found in wildfly configuration (i'm using 9 final version) don't know how use login using datasource..

if can handle http basic authentication, need a "login form" browser? solved implementing javax.ws.rs.ext.exceptionmapper , overriding toresponse(throwable ex). our app throws notauthenticatedexception gets mapped javax.ws.rs.core.response.status.unauthorized. add response header appropriately:

@provider public class restexmapper implements exceptionmapper<throwable> {     @override     public response toresponse(throwable ex)     {         //our application maps not logged in exception javax.ws.rs.core.response.status.unauthorized in pair         pair<integer, objectmap> ret = buildresponse( unwrap( ex));          responsebuilder rb = response.status( ret.left()).entity( ret.right()).type( "application/json");         if( ret.left() == unauthorized.getstatuscode())             return rb.header( httpheaders.www_authenticate, "basic realm=\"your service name\"").build();         else             return rb.build();     } 

the important part setting response header if user not logged in, makes browser display http basic login dialog.
