Global binding annotation that can be applied to a container request filter to indicate that such filter should be applied globally on all resources in the application before the actual resource matching occurs. 
 The JAX-RS runtime will apply the filters marked with the @PreMatching annotation globally to all resources, before the incoming request has been matched to a particular resource method. Any 
named binding annotations will be ignored on a component annotated with the @PreMatching annotation.
