[HttpService] Filter registration behavior change in 2019-03 [message #1804673]

Hello,
I have an application with a RAP workbench ui
I was able to register some http filters to perform some processing before reaching my RAP entry point.

Since 2019-03 my filters are not called anymore.
The RAP workbench entrypoint is defined as an extension point. My filter is registerd programmatically using org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet.ExtendedHttpService.registerFilter(String, Filter, Dictionary<String, String>, HttpContext) and I pass null as HttpContext

Maybe there were some changes in the httpcontext.

Is there any way to register a filter using whiteboard pattern that could apply to every context (I mean Servlet Registered through equinox extension point or a RAP entry point) ?

I did some additional tests it seems it is necessary now to give same httpcontextid when registering servlets and filters using equinox extension points org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.filters and servlets
Leaving httpcontextid empty (default context) a filter registerd with /alias is not called when accessing /alias servlet registered with empty httpcontextid. It was not the case with 2018-12. Was this change expected ?

I have filled a bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=546008 with a very simple project attached allowing to reproduce the issue, as it seems a bug to me.

I tried your test project.
As you stated it fails to call the filter.

What needs to be changed to make the filter called.

I tried to use this plugin setup but it fails:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
     <extension
           id="testHttpcontext"
           point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.httpcontexts">
        <httpcontext
              id="testintest">
           <resource-mapping path="/hello"/>
        </httpcontext>
     </extension>
     <extension
         point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets">
      <servlet
            alias="/hello"
            class="hello.servlet.HelloServlet">
      </servlet>
   </extension>
   <extension
         id="testFilter"
         point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.filters">
      <filter
            alias="/hello"
            httpcontextId="hello.servlet.testintest"
            class="hello.filter.HelloFilter">
      </filter>
   </extension>
</plugin>
