No, i don't think so. It is just that the only way to do what you want
is to re-invoke the application since it decides on how to route the
URI, using @Path and sub-resource locators, to the appropriate
resource method that returns an entity.
There may be other ways to validate some URIs. For example you may be
able to validate the left hand side of a URI based on the current
request URI (or the URI that matched the parent) and then the left
hand side of the URI could reuse a template from a resource class.
