How to add servlet Filter with embedded jetty

Question

I am embedding jetty into my app, and trying to work out how to add servlet filters (for cookie handling). The wiki and the javadoc's dont make it very clear, what am I missing:

Server server = new Server(port);
ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
context.setContextPath("/");
FilterHolder f = new FilterHolder(new AuthorisationFilter());
context.addFilter(... f ...); // ?????
context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new TestServlet()), "/");

The only info I have found on this is a forum post suggesting the documentation on this needs to be improved.

I got the same problem, but I think Καrτhικ's answer is too complex. I found this easy way:

Server server = new Server(8080);
ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
context.setContextPath("/");
context.addServlet(org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet.class, "/");
context.addFilter(AppFilter.class, "/*", EnumSet.of(DispatcherType.INCLUDE,DispatcherType.REQUEST));

server.setHandler(context);
server.start();
server.join();

My jetty version is 8.1.14.v20131031.
