The reason why it's not part of the context is that some container request filters (pre-matching) are executed before the information is available. In any case, according to the spec, you should be able to inject ResourceInfo into your (post-matching) filters and get the information you're asking for. (Please read about the impl. status below)

Hmm... access to sub-resource methods is not possible at the moment. At the same time, I'm not convinced about the use case.

Yes. Yes. No. :)
Unfortunately, thanks to your email I've just realized that ResourceInfo injection implementation in Jersey slipped through the cracks somehow. I've created a new Jira issue to track this one to make sure we'll deliver the support in 2.0-m10:
http://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-1508 (don't worry about the "Fix versions" field on the issue, it's just our way of tracking issues that need to be fixed as part of the current sprint, but we did not plan for them initially).
(Hint: as a temporary workaround, you may try to inject UriInfo in your filters and cast it to ResourceInfo in Jersey ;))

No it does not. Filters are applied to a final resolved resource, not to sub resource locators. What is the use case you're looking at?
