While filters can be injected with JWS or JWE providers directly, one would usually set the relevant properties as part of the endpoint or client set-up and expect the filters load the required JWS or JWE providers as needed. </p><p>If you need to do JWS or JWE processing directly in
your service or interceptor code then having the properties may also be helpful, for example, the following code works because it is indirectly supported by the properties indicating which signature or encryption algorithm is used, where to get the key if needed, etc:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeHeader panelHeader pdl" style="border-bottom-width: 1px;"><b>Loading JWS and JWE Providers </b></div><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
