Best way to pass data from a container/resource filter back to a resource object

Hi, this seems an obvious thing but I can't seem to find an answer. What
is the best/recommended way (if at all) of passing data from a
container/resource filter back to the resource object after the filter
completes..

For example I have a container filter that does some checks after which
I'd like to make the results available in the resource object, but I
can't find a simple way to do it.

At first I thought I could add a property to the ContainerRequest object
passed to my filter method, but I can't seem to find a way to get access
to this (either directly or via something else) in my GET function for
example within the resource object.

Any suggestions

Thanks
