Theoretically, this should be possible using CDI events: the JAX-RS endpoint would defined an @Observes method, and the other bean (whatever it is as long as it is CDI) should fire (forward) the event to it.
Not sure if this all works in practice, hence why I started with “theoretically” :-) I agree this a common use case.
