I have found the following that answers my question: -
https://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/4.4.0.Final/userguide/html/Securing_...
So overall I both need to switch on support for the annotations AND
configure a path based security constraint in the web.xml to trigger
authentication.
Have there been any discussions on looking into this further? It seems
plausible that authentication could be triggered in the event a role is
required if authentication has not already been performed: -

Hello,
I am presently in the process of adding MicroProfile JWT support to
WildFly, most of the code to activate this is now ready but I just wanted
to ask for some pointers as to how RestEasy triggers the need for
authentication for a request?
I have a deployed endpoint annotated with @RolesAllowed, I am about to
attach a debugger and look into the call in more detail but thought I would
ask here as well if there are any pointers.
