* Interceptors wrap so you can have try/catch blocks there
* For filters they don't wrap and have no callback (whether or not
things succeed), so they must be self-contained irregardless of success
or failure as there is no way to clean up any state.
You could have Filters wrap:
* wrap around write of request on client side
* wrap around call to resource method on server
* wrap around write of response on server
BUT....because reading the response on the client comes in two stages
(invoke() and getEntity()) wrapping is much more problematic.
So, if somebody believes filters need the ability to cleanup on success
or failure, then IMO, a callback is the best approach.
