Hi Romain,

Thanks.  that was the conclusion was coming to.  I am glad it is a valid solution.  I found this example also https://gist.github.com/neolitec/8953607.

I guess i will define a filter mapping in web.xml

Hi Matthew,

tomcat does that because the spec does (even if several people ask to break
that limitation it is not yet done at servlet spec level)
that said to secure a rest endpoint you just need a filter in your app and
implement the security login in there. you can delegate to the container
(request.login()/request.logout())  or not depending what you want to do.
MP JWT Auth uses that typically:

my webapp already has a login-config set to keycloak in web.xml so AFAIK
i cannot define any other security configs there.  why doesn't tomcat
allow multiple security methods?
<login-config>
      <auth-method>KEYCLOAK</auth-method>
      <realm-name>secure</realm-name>
</login-config>

is there another way to protect a jax-rs endpoint using basic auth
without having to create another webapp?  i read something about valves...
