I wanna use getRestHandlerWrapper() from ActionPlugin class instead of removed class "RestFilter" for authentication with user/pass! any ideas how can i use this new class instead of restfilter for catching user/pass from request header and check the credentials whether is ok or not!  
another question is when a user authenticate with this mechanism , in every request it must authenticate again or what?
